Suppose that John Smith gets promoted to a job that causes two changes to occur simultaneously: John earns a higher wage, and a safer environment causes his health to depreciate less rapidly.

How would these two changes together affect John’s desired health capital?

Suppose, using information from iii, that John’s wage rises from $200 to $210 per day. Show how his equilibrium level of income and labor-leisure will change.
