Problem 5 Consider an exchange economy with two people: Will and Bob; and two goods: apples and bananas. Will's initial endowment is 10 apples and 5 bananas. Bob's initial endowment is 5 apples and 10 bananas. Will likes apples and hates bananas. Bob likes both apples and bananas. The preferences of both Will and Bob are strictly convex. (a) Draw an Edgeworth Box with apples on the horizontal axes. Put Will at the bottom left corner and Bob at the top right corner. Show the initial endowment and label it with W.
