Assume that two people, Paul and Katie, are two people deciding
how to split resources between them. Their utility possibilities
curve is represented by Uk = sqrt(100 - Up^2), where Uk represents
Katie's utility, and Up represents Paul's utility. Katie believes
in a strictly utilitarian view of social welfare, and wants the
allocation to reflect the optimal point from that view. Paul, on
the other hand, is a strict Rawlsian. Draw a graph showing the
shape of the UPC and at least one of Katie's social indifference
curves and one of Paul's social indifference curves. Can the two
people reach a consensus about the state of society?
