He gains utility from his leisure hours (N) and the income (Y) he earns from his work hours (H). His utility function is $U(Y, N) = Y^\alpha N^\beta$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive parameters. The person's hourly wage is given by w, and he has non-labor income Y.* Suppose the government imposes a tax on labor income. The tax rate is t, where 0 < t < 1. (25%)
