Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two agents. Agent A likes to consume more of either good, but when she consumes a bundle, she dislikes mixing her consumption of both goods. Therefore she only cares for the maximal amount of either good contained in a bundle. Her preferences are represented by ui(xA1 , xA2 ) = max{xA1 , xA2 }. Agent B has preferences represented by ui(xB1 , xB2 ) = (xB1 )^2 + (xB2 )^2. Both agents...

1. Craig consumes apples and bananas. We had a look at two of his indifference curves. In this problem we give you enough information so you can find all of Craig's indifference curves. We do this by telling you that Craig's utility function happens to be U(XA, XR) = XAXB a. Craig has 40 apples and 5 bananas. Craig's utility for the bundle (40,5) is? b. Draw the indifference curve showing all of the bundles...
