Suppose there are two consumers A and B, and two goods x and y. A's utility function has the following form UA = XA - (XB)1. Which of the following is true? Consumer A's consumption of good x exhibits a negative externality. Consumer A's consumption of good x exhibits a positive externality. Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a negative externality. Consumer B's consumption of good x exhibits a positive externality.
Two individuals, Fred and Helen, are in an economy with no production, and each have the utility function U = 10XY. Prices of both X and Y are set at $1. Initial endowments for Fred are 10 units of X and 6 units of Y. Helen has 8 units of X and 12 units of Y. Find the general equilibrium prices and allocation, then show that the G.E. allocation is Pareto efficient.

Suppose we have two people in the market: A, B. Their utility functions are UA min{x1, x₂}, UB = min{x₁,2}. Solve their optimal choices and then find market demand. =
1. a) Consider an economy with 3 agents, Mohammed (M), David (D) and Susan (S). There are two goods available, good x, and good y. The marginal rates of substitution (where good x is on the horizontal axis and good y is on the vertical axis) are given by for Mohammed, for David and for Mohammed and David are both consuming twice as much of the good x than good y, while Susan is consuming equal amounts of x and y. What are the conditions for Pareto efficiency in an exchange economy? Are these consumption levels economically efficient? Can these consumption allocations be observed in a perfectly competitive equilibrium in an exchange economy without production? Explain. b. There are two firms in the economy. Each firm employs positive amounts of capital and labour. The technology satisfies diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital. Currently, A’s marginal rate of technical substitution of labour for capital is 4 while B’s marginal rate of technical…
Consider a market with two households (A and B) and two goods (X and Y). Each household holds 12 units of each good. Household A has a utility UA = 5 In LA + In yA when it consumes bundle (*A, YA). Household B hasa utility UB = In aB+5 Inyg when it consumes bundle (гв, ув). The market reaches an equilibrium when the price of each good is $1. Which, of the following sentences, correctly explains what happens in the market? Household A purchases 8 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 8 units of good Y from household A. Household A purchases 7 units of good Y from household B. Household B purchases 7 units of good X from household A. Household A purchases 9 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 9 units of good Y from household A. O Household A purchases 7 units of good X from household B. Household B purchases 7 units of good Y from household A.

Consider an exchange economy with two consumers J and K and two goods F and C. Suppose the consumers have preferences with the following MRS of F in terms of C MUP MU 5CJ MRS FC FJ and MU MRSC = CK MUŽ FK where J, K are labels for the consumer, not powers. Suppose the economy has 24 units of good F and 20 units of good C. If consumer J is endowed with 12 units of good F and the consumers are given a Pareto efficient allocation, how many units of good C will consumer ** K** be provided?

Consider an economy with 100 pieces of apple (A) and 150 pieces of banana (B) that must be completely distributed to individuals 1 and 2. The utility function of the two individuals, U, & U2, is given by U1 (A1,B1) = 2A? + B² & U2 (A2,B2) = 2A²B?, respectively. With this information, recommend an efficient allocation of the two %3D goods between the two individuals. Discuss and show the necessary solution to support your recommendation
Please define and draw the utility possibilities curve. On your graph explain what is meant by pareto efficiency. Define social welfare functions. On your graph demonstrate that some efficient points need not be as good, given the social welfare function, as some inefficient points.
