1. General Equilibrium: a. Suppose that Eliza and Alexander are currently at point A. How many servings of tea and scones does each person have? (Note: Alexander's indifference curve is pink while Eliza's indifference curve is black). b. Suppose that Eliza leaves the room and that Alexander takes 4 cups of tea from her and leaves her 2 of his scones. Illustrate this reallocation in the Edgeworth Box diagram (label this point B). Is this a Pareto improvement? c. Show that a reallocation where Alexander takes 4 cups of tea and leaves Eliza only 1 scone is not a Pareto improvement. Label this new allocation point C. Alexander's Scones

Assume that you are on an island where there are only two commodities—coconuts and pineapples—and you can spend your income only on these two foods. If the price of coconuts is Pc and the price of pineapples is Pp and your income is I, draw a budget constraint, carefully labelling the points on the two axes and where the attainable and unattainable portions of consumption are. Note: you can choose any Pc and Pp that you like—they do not have to be equal. What is the slope of this budget constraint? What is the economic interpretation of the slope? Now, let’s bring a little more structure to this diagram. Let I=£200, Pc=£1 per coconut and Pp=£2 per pineapple. Draw a new diagram using these numbers. Consider these questions: How many coconuts can you buy if you do not buy any pineapples? How many pineapples can you buy if you do not buy any coconuts? What is the slope and what economic information does it give us? Show the point of 100 coconuts and 100 pineapples on your diagram. Can…

1. True/False: Partial equilibrium analysis only concerns supply or demand alone, whereas general equilibrium analysis concerns supply and demand simultaneously. 2. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income. 3. True/False: In general equilibrium analysis, an allocation is said to be as a reasonable allocation if each consumer consumes the same bundle its value is no more than the value of the consumer's income.

1.2 Ann and Bob each own 10 bottles of beer and, altogether, they own 20 bags of peanuts. There are no other people and no other goods in the economy, and no production of either good is possible. Using a to denote bottles of beer and y to denote bags of peanuts, Ann's and Bob's preferences are described by the following utility functions: UA (XA, YA) = TAYA and UB (XB, YB) = 2xB+ YB. In each of the following cases, determine the market equilibrium price ratio and allocation and depict the equilibrium in an Edgeworth box diagram. (a) Bob owns 20 bags of peanuts and Ann owns no peanuts. (b) Bob owns 15 bags of peanuts and Ann owns 5 bags. (c) Ann owns 20 bags of peanuts and Bob owns no peanuts.

A consumer has $100 to spend on craft beer and Schweinefleischaft (pork shanks). Suppose craft beercosts $10 per 4-pack if the customer purchases up to five 4-packs. After that, it is $5 per 4-pack. SupposeSchweinefleischaft is $5 per order of pork shanks.(a) Draw the budget constraint for this consumer, with craft beer on the horizontal axis and Schweine-fleischaft on the vertical axis.(b) Will the consumer ever purchase exactly five 4-packs of craft beer? Explain why, using both thegraph in part (a) and words.
Hey could you please answer the following question l would appreciate it.
We have determined that Jenny's satisfaction from eating a Snickers bar is 30 utils, whereas Sarah's satisfaction from eating a Snickers bar is 15 utils. We also know that Jenny prefers Snickers bars over Milky Way bars. Which of the following statements can we say for sure are true? Drag the true statements to the box. Items (7 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area below) Jenny likes Snickers bars twice as much as Sarah does. Sarah likes Snickers bars more than Jenny likes Milky Way bars. Sarah likes Snickers bars more than Jenny does. Jenny likes Snickers bars more than Sarah does. Jenny's satisfaction from consuming a Milky Way bar must be less than 30 utils. There is not enough information to determine who likes Snickers bars the most. The price of the Snickers bar is needed in order to find out who likes it the most.
Suppose that the initial allocation is point a between Ross and Rosa. A. Discuss how Ross’s condition be made better off without harming Rosa (i.e., Rosa maintains her level of utility). B. Illustrate this in a separate diagram and label point/s as necessary (also, if other point/s will have to be made or incorporated).
