Consider an exchange economy with agents A and B and goods x and y. A's endowment is (0, 1) (i.e., no good r and 1 unit of y) and B's endowment is (2,0) (i.e., 2 units of good x and no good y. The agents can consume only nonnegative amounts of x and y. 4. Suppose A lexicographically prefers r to y and B considers x and y to be perfect sub- stitutes, i.e., between bundles (x, y) and (x', y'), she strictly prefers (x, y) if and only if x + y > x' + y'. The competitive equilibrium allocation for this economy is A. A gets (0, 1) and B gets (2,0). B. A gets (2,0) and B gets (0, 1). C. A gets (3/2, 0) and B gets (1/2, 1). D. A gets (1, 0) and B gets (1,1).
