Question

Economics
Suppose there are two agents, N and S, who are choosing when to go a restaurant. They are
choosing when to go within the next five weeks, they can each only go once they don't have to go
at the same time), and each week the restaurant has a different special which they will order. Today
(t = 0). the special is cauliflower, which gives each agent 1 util. Next week (t = 1). it's steak, which
yields 4 utils. The week after (t = 2), the special is a salad, which they value at 6 utils. The following
week (t = 3), the restaurant serves salmon, worth 9 utils. Finally, by far the best special of all is in
the last week (t = 4), when they serve ravioli, worth 15 utils. Suppose o = 1. B = 1/2 for both
agents, but N is a naif and doesn't know he is present biased (thinks his p = 1) whereas Sis a
sophisticate and knows her B = 1/2
a. When would a time consistent agent ( = 1) go to the restaurant, given 8 - 1?
b. When will N, the naif, go to the restaurant?
c. When will S, the sophisticate, go to the restaurant?
d. Who is better off in terms of receiving higher utility?​
