You are given the following Production Possibility Frontier (PPF): X2+ Y = 1728 Suppose that the society's utility function is given by: U=XY where X and Y are two commodities. (a) Derive the point on the PPF that maximises utility. Calculate the utility associated with this combination. (b) Assume the economy is now opened to international trade. X and Y are traded on the basis of one unit of Y for every unit of X [Hint: (Xp – X.) = (Yc- Yp), where Xp and Yp are the respective amounts of goods X and Y produced while Xc and Yc are the respective amounts of goods X and Y consumed]. Write down the constrained maximization problem and solve for optimal production, trade, and consumption. (c) Show that utility has increased with international trade.
