Consider an exchange economy with two people (Ali, and Burcu) and two goods (apples, and bananas). Ali and Burcu have the following utility functions: UA = (XA) ¹/2+YA (XA is Ali's consumption of apples, and ya is his consumption of bananas) Ug = XB + 4y8 (xB is Burcu's consumption of apples, and ye is her consumption of bananas) Ali's initial endowment is 8 bananas and Burcu's initial endowment is also 32 apples. The price of banana is $2. Which of the following statement is true? a. Initial allocation is Pareto optimal b. Every Pareto optimal allocation is in the core OC. None of the above Od. Ali eats 6 bananas in the Walrasian equilibrium
