Can you help me answer this macroeconomics theory question. It's all question 7 it's parts a through c
Please answer the question fully and completely else I will rate negative, thanks! Question 3 Consider an economy with two consumers, A and B, two goods called 1 and 2 and one firm. Consumers A and B are each endowed with a unit of each good. The utility functions of each consumer are: A: 13 4 4 u (x₁‚x2 ) = lnx₁ + Inx2 B:u ₁₂ (x, ‚ x 2 ) = x, x 2 The firm B 1 A 1 1 2 produces good 2 using good 1 as an input, according to the production function f(y) = y where y is the quantity of good 1. Consumer A is the sole shareholder of the firm and the firm operates to maximize profit. Page 2 If P₁ and P2 determine the utility maximizing demand of consumer are the per unit prices of goods 1 and 2, . B for each good as a function of p, and P2 · If P₁ P 2 1 and are the per unit prices of goods 1 and 2, determine the profit maximizing demand of the firm for good 1 as a function of p₁ and p2.

Consider a two-agents, two goods economy, in which both agents, A and B, are represented by the following utility function: UA(1, 22) = rr2 UB(y1, Y2) = Y1y% There are w units of each good in the economy. 1. Characterize the set of Pareto optimal allocations and represent it in the Edgeworth box. The 3 units of each goods are initially share as follows: A has w units of good 1 and zero unit of good 2; B has zero unit of good 1 and w units of good 2. 2. Determine the Walrasian equilibrium 3. Represent the economy in the Edgeworth box.
Q3
What is Lea's own-price substitution effect of the price increase due to the tax ?
Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods k = 1,2 and two households i = A, B. The total available amount of good 1 and 2 is 9 and 12 units, respectively. Utility functions for households A and B are UA (TA1, A2) = TA1TA2 and UB(B1, B2) = XB1T32. (a) Find an expression for the Pareto optimal set. (b) Assume e A = (4,4) and eg (5,8) are A and B endowments, respectively. Find the competitive equilibrium. (c) Is the competitive equilibrium allocation in the Pareto Optimal set? Why this result should not surprise us?
True/False? Briefly explain. Assume good x is a normal good. In terms of consumer behavior, a cash grant and a small (relative to the initial consumption of x) limited non-matching grant on good x (with the limit that is equal to the cash grant) are essentially equivalent.
5. Consider a two-consumer one-firm economy with a single input good and a single output good. Consumers' utility functions are u4(x4) Suppose that the input good is divisible and that wA = wB = 1/2. Suppose that the output good is indivisible (i.e., that xg, q = 0, 1, 2, ...), and that the firm's production technology is such that it requires 1 unit of input to produce one unit of output. rA + 3r and uB(xB) 4x? + x. (a) Derive the Pareto set of this economy. (b) For all Pareto-efficient allocations from (a), derive a competitive equilibrium for this economy that generates these allocations.
