Consider a competitive economy consisting of many farmers and many tailors. The number of farmers is equal to the number of tailors. Farmers are identical. Each farmer has 10 units of food (F) but no clothing (C). Tailors are also identical. Each tailor has 20 units of clothing but no food. Suppose each person has the utility function U = FC . The price of clothing is always £1. What is the equilibrium price for food? Explain your answer.

10. Consider a pure exchange competitive market economy with two individ- uals, A and B, and two commodities, x and y, whose prices are denoted by px and py, respectively. Individual A lexicographically prefers x to y. Individual B's utility function is min{x,y}. Both individual A's and B's endowment is (50,50). A competitive equilibrium price ratio, Px/py, for this economy (a) exists and is equal to 1 (b) exists and is less than 1 (c) exists and is greater than...

Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, wine (x) and cheese (y) and two con- sumers, A and B. Let cheese be the numeraire good with price of $1. Consumer A's utility function is UA(x, y) = xy and B's utility function is UB(x, y) = min [x, y). A has an initial allocation of 10 x and no y, and B has an initial allocation of 10 units of y and no x. (a) Put...

This problem illustrates the idea of a competitive equilibrium. Suppose there are only two agents in the economy, whom we will call Ann and Bob. We can think of this as shorthand for an economy that has many Anns and Bobs, so that each is indeed insignificant in the market. The two people have the following endowments of the two goods they have to consume, bananas and coconuts, as follows: The utility functions are given by: Compute the demand functions...
