Suppose that Mike has the utility function U M(b, w) = 6b + 24w and Paul has the utility function U P (b, w) = bw.
(a) Draw an Edgeworth box with beer (b) on the horizontal axis and wine (w) on the vertical axis, measuring Mike’s consumption from the lower left corner of the box.
(b) Construct the contract curve, given the aggregate endowments of beer and wine are 400 and 100 bottles respectively.
(c) Assume now that Mike and Paul each have one half of the total endowments of both goods. Do they have an incentive to trade? If so, what are the competitive equilibrium allocations and prices?

Maurice is characterized by the utility function UMwb, wiehilip by U(bP.wP) -bPwP, where bi, i-M,P denotes the number of books that each of them has and wi the number of bottles of wine, respectively. If the bottom-left comer of the Edgeworth box reflects zero consumption for Maurice and the number of books is measured along the horizontal axis, the contract curve will contairn a) the Edgeworth box diagonal b) a straight segment with a slope of 1 including the bottom-left...

Consumer A has a utility function u(x,y) = xA + yA and an endowment of (x,y) = (25,5). Consumer B has a utility function u(x,y) = min{xB,yB} and an endowment (x,y) = (25,45). a. Carefully sketch the Edgeworth Box and indicate where the endowment is. b. What is A’s utility and B’s utility if they each simply consumer their endowments? c. Next, add the indifference curve for A and B, through their endowments in your Edgeworth Box. d. Find a...
