Agent A's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVA - = $3 and agent B's marginal valuation of the first unit is MVB = $4. Suppose that agent A owns one unit while agent B holds no unit. Then, assuming that each agent maximizes his/her gains from trade, O A. 1 unit for agent A and O unit for agent B is an efficient allocation. B. 1 unit for agent B and O unit for agent A is an efficient allocation. C. There is mutually beneficial trading between agent A and agent B at a price of 3

Suppose consumer are always ready to trade k units of good X for w units of good Y. Then, which of the following utility function represents this preference? O U(X,Y) = min{wX + kY}. O U(X,Y) = wx + kY. O U(x,Y) = min(kX,wY}. U(X,Y) kX + wY.
5.6. Bunde's preferences are given by the utility function u(x1, x2) = x1 + X2. For each of the following cases, decompose the price effects into the substitution and income effects using either the Hicks-Allen or Slutsky decompositions. - (a) Suppose m = 120, p₁ = 12, and p2 P1 5, keeping p2 and m fixed. (b) Suppose m = 100, P1 = 20. The price p₁ then falls to = 20, and p2 = 10. The price p₁ then falls to 5, keeping p2 and m fixed.
2(b)There are three people and two goods in an economy. The utility functions and the initial bundles are given below: U = X11X 12 U2 = 2x 21+ X 22 U3 = X 31 X 3z+X 32 W; = (0,8) W;= (2,2) W3= (8,0) Suppose it is suggested that the three traders move to the allocation x given by x= (1,2), x2= (8, 4), X3= (1,4) C. Show that x is not in the core.
Two individuals, Blair and Anton, derive utility from leisure and from the other goods (OG) they consume. Observing their leisure and OG choices when wage increases, we conclude that Blair has backward-bending labour supply and Anton has upward slopping labour supply. Therefore, Select all that applies a) Leisure is a normal good for Anton but an inferior good for Blair. b) Anton has only an income effect, while Blair has only a substitution effect. O C) Anton's income effect is larger than Blair's income effect, but Anton's substitution effect is smaller than Blair's substitution effect. O d) Anton's substitution effect is larger than his income effect, but Blair's income effect is larger than her substitution effect. O e) Anton's income and substitution effects are negative while Blair's income and substitution effects are positive.
Suppose that a consumer's marginal rate of substitution at her current chosen bundle is MUx/MUy=3 but she can exchange X and Y at Px/Py=5. Should she keep her current bundle, or can she make herself better off by trading at these prices? Which good will she buy, and which will she sell?
2(b)There are three people and two goods in an economy. The utility functions and the initial bundles are given below: U1 = X11X 12 U = 2x 21+ X 22 U3 = X 31 X 3z+X 32 W; = (0,8) W;= (2,2) Wy= (8,0) Suppose it is suggested that the three traders move to the allocation x given by x;= (1,2), x2= (8,4), X3= (1,4) b. Show that x makes no one worse off than the original allocation.
