- For the rest of this question consider a two goods economy where Kim and Jung can trade Ferraris (good x) and VR headsets (good y) with each other. Kim and Jung both enjoy driving Ferraris and having more VR headsets (so more friends can play the same game). They start at the same (high) level of income. Kim has an initial endowment of (x0k, y0k) = (10,30) and Jung has an initial endowment of (x0j, y0j) = (30,10) d) Assume that a social planner could redistribute initial wealth (the amounts of ? and ? that Kim and Jung have). Can they reallocate resources so that Kim and Jung reach the allocation (Xk, Yk) = (20,20) and (Xj, Yj) = (20,20) as a general equilibrium (i.e. post-trade) allocation? Can the social planner redistribute resources to make the allocation where Jung owns all the resources in the economy a general equilibrium allocation?For the rest of this question consider a two goods economy where Kim and Jung can trade Ferraris (good x) and VR headsets (good y) with each other. Kim and Jung both enjoy driving Ferraris and having more VR headsets (so more friends can play the same game). They start at the same (high) level of income. Kim has an initial endowment of (x0k, y0k) = (10,30) and Jung has an initial endowment of (x0j, y0j) = (30,10) a) Illustrate the initial endowment in an Edgeworth box. Clearly label the axes and explain the dimensions of the box. Show the indifference curve each of them is on at the endowment point. b) Consider an allocation where Kim gets (xk, yk) = (40,40) and Jung gets the remaining Ferraris and VR headsets. Show where this point is in the Edgeworth box. Is this allocation Pareto efficient? Is it equitable? How likely is this to arise in practice?For the rest of this question consider a two goods economy where Kim and Jung can trade Ferraris (good x) and VR headsets (good y) with each other. Kim and Jung both enjoy driving Ferraris and having more VR headsets (so more friends can play the same game). They start at the same (high) level of income. Kim has an initial endowment of (x0k, y0k) = (10,30) and Jung has an initial endowment of (x0j, y0j) = (30,10) c) Assume that Kim has preferences Uk (Xk, Yk) = 3Xk + 3Yk and Jung has preferences Uj (Xj, Yj) = Xj + 3Yj. Will Kim and Jung trade? Calculate the general equilibrium allocation for Kim and Jung. Compute the utility at the endowment point and at the general equilibrium allocation. Is the new allocation on the contract curve?
- Carol and Bob both consume the same goods in an economy of pure exchange. Carol is initially endowed with 9 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2. Bob is initially endowed with 18 units of good 1 and 3 units of good 2. They both have the utility function U(x₁, x₂) = 1/3 2/3 x1³x2³. If we set good 1 as the numeraire (so that p. = $1), what will the equilibrium price of good 2 be?Jack Sparrow and his wife consume wine (W) and books (B). Jack Sparrow's utility function is Ujack(W, B) = W. His wife's utility function is Uwife(W, B) = B. Jack's endowment is 17 bottles of wine and 5 books and Jack's wife's endowment is 20 bottles of wine and 14 books. In the Edgeworth box, Jack's consumption is measured from the lower left corner, and his wife's from the upper right corner of the box; the wine is on the horizontal axis and books are on the vertical axis. Therefore, in an Edgeworth box for Jack and his wife, there is only one Pareto Optimal allocation that is located in the top left corner of the box. True or False? Please submit 1 if True and O if False.Consider an exchange economy with two consumers: Charlotte and Dylan, and two goods: quinoa (Q) and raspberries (R). Charlotte has an initial endowment of 83.9 units of quinoa and 99.3 raspberries. Dylan has 112.5 units of quinoa and 77.8 raspberries. Charlotte's utility function is given by Uc=Q¹/² R¹/², where Qc and Re are her consumption of Q and R, respectively. Dylan's utility function is given by Up-Q¹/³ R2/3, where Qp and Rp are his consumption of Q and R, respectively. Suppose that the market price of quinoa is po=2 and the market price of raspberries is pr=1. At these prices, how many units of Q would Dylan want to consume?
- Suppose that David and his friend Wilson derive utility from consuming two types of snacks: onion rings (9₁) and chips (9₂). The utility function for each individual is U (9₁, 92) = 9192. Their indifference curves for these two goods are assumed to have the usual (convex) shape. Suppose David has an initial endowment of 35 onion rings and 10 chips, and Wilson's initial endowment consists of 5 onion rings and 20 chips. (1) Draw an Edgeworth box and show the initial allocation of goods, to be labelled e. Indicate the initial quantities of each person's goods on the four axes.3. Christina loves pizza and hates burger. Her utility function is U(p – b) = p – 6", where is the number of pizzas she consumes and b is the number of burgers she consumes. John likes both pizza and burger. His utility function is U(p, b) = p + 2\b Christina has an initial endowment of no pizzas and 8 burgers. John has an initial endowment of 16 pizzas and 8 burgers. a. Graph the initial endowment and label it E b. If Christina hates burgers and John likes them, how many burgers can Christina and John be consuming at a Pareto optimal allocation? What is John's marginal utility for pizzas and burgers? Mark the locus of Pareto optimal allocations of pizzas and burgers between Christina and John on the grapsh above.Elizabeth Swann and her husband consume wine (W) and books (B). Elizabeth's utility function is UE(W, B) = W. Her husband's utility function is UH(W, B) = W. Elizabeth's endowment is 16 bottles of wine and 5 books and her husband's endowment is 19 bottles of wine and 14 books. In the Edgeworth box, Elizabeth's consumption is measured from the lower left corner, and her husband's from the upper right corner of the box; the wine is on the horizontal axis and books are on the vertical axis. Therefore, in an Edgeworth box for Elizabeth and her husband, any allocation is Pareto Optimal. True or False? Please submit 1 if True and O if False.
- An exchange economy consists of two individuals and two goods. The two individuals have the following Leontief utility functions: Person 1: U1(x1, y1) = 3x1 + y1 Person 2: U2(x2, y2) = x2 + 2y2 Person 1 has an endowment of e1 = (3, 2). Person 2’s endowment is e1 = (3, 4). In an Edgeworth Box diagram, show which allocations are in the core. Describe the set of Pareto optimal allocations (i.e. the contract curve) in the Edgeworth Box. Illustrate the contract curve in an Edgeworth Box diagram. Let good y be the numeraire (i.e. set py = 1 and let px = p). What price ratio(s) P* will support a competitive equilibrium allocation for this economy?Exercise 4 Consider an economy with two consumers, Alexia and Bart, who live two periods, t = 0 and t = 1. In each period they can consume one type of good and their preferences for consumption are given by U (co, c²) = c(c²)² _i = A, B. Alexia and Bart have the following endowment of good in each period M=1, M₁ = 1, MB = 2, MB = 2. In t = 0, Alexia and Bart can exchange a financial contract for the delivery of one unit of consumption good in t = 1 (a bond). Name p the price of the bond and b² the amount bought by agent i = =A, B. (a) Write down each agent's utility maximization and budget constraints assuming that he/she can trade the bond without restrictions. (b) Find each agent's optimal quantity b² as a function of the bond net return r. (c) Find the equilibrium value of r and the equilibrium demand/supply of each agent.Please answer every part. 4. Consider an economy consisting of two individuals, Ann and Bob, and two goods, scotch and wine. Aun has 5 bottles of scoteh and 2 bottles of wine as her endowment, while Bob has 3 bottles of each.

Assume also that the prices of goods scotch and wine are represented by P,= 1 (scotch is the mumeraire), and P>0. a.
