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.

Concert Tickets You are selling seats at an upcoming concert. The concert hall has a total of 8,500 seats, which will include reserved seats and general admission seats. You're selling reserved seats for $9 each and general admission seats for $5 each and are trying to decide how many of each kind of seat to offer. You want to make money on the concert, but also want people who can't afford the more expensive seats to come. You estimate your expenses for putting on the concert to be $50,000. You are hoping to make a profit, or at least break even. Assuming that you sell out the concert: a. Determine an equation for your revenue and profit as a function of the number of reserved seats you offer. b. Graph your revenue and profit equations on the same graph. What do you notice about the two functions? What does the slope of the lines represent in this situation? c. Determine how many reserved seats you would need to offer in order to break even. d. Determine how many reserved seats must…
