Any parts appreciated the more the better. 7. a. Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two individuals. Alice always requiresequal quantities of the two goods. Bob's expenditure on good 1 is always twice his expenditureon good 2. Suppose that Alice's endowment consists of 5 units of good 1 and no good 2 w4 =(5,0) and Bob's endowment consists of 1 unit of good 1 and 6 units of good 2, wB = (1,6).i. Suggest utility functions consistent with their behaviour and verify your answer. Drawa typical indifference curve for each individual.ii.Determine the contract curve. Illustrate it in an Edgeworth box.ii.Determine the competitive equilibrium price ratio and the consumptions. Illustrate theequilibrium in an Edgeworth box.iv.Now suppose that there is an additional individual named Cindy in the economy. Shenever consumes good 2. Her endowment consists of no good 1 and unit of good 2wB = (0,2). Suggest a utility function for Cindy and draw a typical indifference curve.Determine the competitive equilibrium price ratio. Determine the effect on equilibriumprice ratio and utilities if 4 units of good 1 were given to Cindy (NOT a transfer fromthe other two consumers)? Provide an intuitive explanation for your answer.b. Suppose each firm in a competitive industry has a production technology described by theproduction function f(l,k) = (min (I, 4k))'/2. The price of labour per unit is 2 and the price ofcapital per unit is 4, and each firm faces a recurring fixed cost of 300 (Firms incur fixed costs evenin the long run, however, not due to fixed labour or fixed capital).Suppose the market demand is given by Qd = 560 – P. Determine the long-runequilibrium price and number of firms in the industry.i.ii.Assume that the amount of capital is fixed at ko = 25 and that labour is variable.Derive the short run total cost function for each firm. Using the number of firms foundin part (b.i), derive and graph the short run market supply function.

7. a. Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two individuals. Alice always requires equal quantities of the two goods. Bob's expenditure on good 1 is always twice his expenditure on good 2. Suppose that Alice's endowment consists of 5 units of good 1 and no good 2 wA = (5,0) and Bob's endowment consists of 1 unit of good 1 and 6 units of good 2, w® = (1,6). i. Suggest utility functions consistent with their behaviour and verify your answer. Draw a typical indifference curve for each individual.
