Consider an economy with 100 units of labor and capital that must be completely distributed to Firms X and Y. With this information, recommend an efficient allocation of the two inputs between the two firms. Discuss and show the necessary solution to support your recommendationX = KL2 – L3;Y = 10K1.5L0.5;Graphically illustrate and discuss how an economy can achieve production efficiency if at its current allocation on L and K, the MRTSLKY > MRTSLKZ (you may use your own values to represent the available L and K and the initial distribution)
The graph shows the market for cashews. What is the equilibrium price of cashews? What is the equilibrium quantity of cashews? Is the market for cashews efficient or inefficient? Why? CIER The equilibrium price of cashews is $ a pound and the equilibrium quantity of cashews is pounds. The market for cashews is O A. inefficient only if the cost of growing all the cashews is an average of $6.00 a pound OB. efficient because the marginal benefit of cashews equals the marginal cost of producing them, which is $6.00 a pound OC. inefficient because growers of cashews receive a large producer surplus O D. efficient because the benefit of each pound of cashews consumed equals the cost of growing it OE. efficient only if the total benefit of the cashews equals $6.00 a pound billion A 12.00- 10.00- 8.00- 6.00+ 4.00- 2.00- 0.00+ 0 Price (dollars per pound) S 3 9 12 6 Quantity (billions of pounds per year) D 15 Q Q

No more than 100 words for the answer: Explain, in your own words, the implications of the Positive Coase Theorem for the efficient allocation of property rights. As part of your answer, discuss the role played by transactions costs in the Coase Theorem.
Describe and explain a case in which the market does not allocate an efficient amount of resources.
Consider a Robinson Crusoe Economy. There are two commodities in the economy: one is labor L and the other is yam y. The producer Crusoe has production technology of y = Lî. The consumer Crusoe's preference is represented by y(1 – L)¿ where L is the supply of labor. The consumer Cruose has all the share of the producer Crusoe's profit. (a) Find efficient allocation (L, y). (b) Define and calculate a competitive equilibrium of the economy. (Normalize the wage to be unity, i.e., w = 1).
2. a. Consider an exchange economy which satisfies the conditions of the First Welfare Theorem (a competitive equilibrium is Pareto optimal and for which equilibrium exists starting from any vector of initial endorsements) Use these hypotheses to provide a quick indirect proof the Second Welfare Theorem.
“Because all points on a contract curve are efficient, they are all equally desirable from a social point of view.” Do you agree with this statement? Please explain why

3. Consider a one-consumer one-firm economy in which u(x) = aTz+1q, w = 1 and f(z) = z2. (a) Derive a competitive equilibrium for this economy. (b) Derive the Pareto set of this economy.
6. In a simple economy there are 2 inputs, each fixed in supply. These inputs are owned by two consumers. Inputs are used either in the production of r or of y. For simplicity you should assume there are only two firms. (a) Define the term 'Pareto Efficient (PE) Allocation." (b) What conditions must be satisfied for a PE allocation in this simple economy? List each separately
4. Suppose that a market with an inelastic demand curve experiences an upward shift (to the left) in the supply curve. Using comparative statics, analyze how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in this market will change as a result of this shift in the supply curve. What is the magnitude of the change in the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? Be sure to illustrate your answer with graph.
