- Suppose that there is a pure exchange economy described by:
- Two commodities: automobiles (a) and boats (b)
- Two people: Mel (M) and Norm (N)
- Endowment = (a(m) , b(m), a(n), b(n) = (7, 8, 1 , 14)
- Draw the Edgeworth box that represents this economy.
- Suppose the Endowment is not Pareto optimal. Using indifference curves show the region in which feasible allocations offer a Pareto improvement over the endowment.
- Show the region in which feasible allocations offer a reduction in satisfaction for both individuals.
- What allocation would be perfectly equitable and explain whether this would be a good social outcome?

Consider a pure exchange economy two consumers, Rachel and Lauren, and two commodities, watermelon and tomatoes. Rachel’s initial endowment is 4 units of watermelon and 3 units of tomatoes. Lauren’s initial endowment is 2 units of watermelon and 5 units of tomatoes. Rachel and Lauren have identical utility functions: Rachel’s utility is UR(WR,TR) = WRTR where WR and TR is Rachel’s quantity of watermelon and quantity of tomatoes, respectively; similarly, Lauren’s utility is UL(WL,TL) = WLTL where WL and TL...

C1 [19 marks] Suppose Malcolm and Barnaby are the only two people in a pure exchange economy. Food and clothing are the only two commodities. Malcolm is endowed with 30 units of food and 10 units of clothing, while Barnaby is endowed with 10 units of food and 30 units of clothing. Let F = units of food and C = units of clothing. Malcolm’s utility function is UM = 2 min(F, C) and Barnaby’s utility function is UB =...

Suppose individuals A and B start with endowments (3,7) and (7,3),respectively. *Please answer all parts of the question including #5,6,7,8,9,10,11* Draw the Edgeworth box and label the initial endowments. Are the final allocations (6, 3) and (5, 6) feasible? Suppose that individual A has utility function UA = xA1 + 2xA2 . Draw a few of A’s indifference curves on the Edgeworth box. (Make sure you’ve drawn them correctly.) Suppose that individual B has utility function UB = 2xB1 +...
