How would you demonstrate part b) diagramatically 6. Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. a) Derive and plot the feasible set, between daily values of consumption c, and “leisure”, l. Label the values at the intercepts (the points where the feasible frontier cuts the two axes). b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves.
Suppose that each week Fiona buys 16 peaches and 4 apples at her local farmer's market. Both kinds of fruit cost $1 each. From this we can infer that: If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be greater than her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. Fiona is not maximizing her utility. If Fiona is maximizing her utility, then her marginal utility from the 16th peach she buys must be equal to her marginal utility from the 4th apple she buys. The law of diminishing marginal utility does not hold for Fiona.
1. Write down an exchange economy model with two individuals and two goods, in whichthere is no consumption externality. State and explain the key assumptions of the model.Using the model, answer the following questions:(a) Explain carefully how the concept of Pareto efficiency differs from that of socialwelfare.(b) State the Second Theorem of Welfare Economics and explain carefully why it holds.What is the importance of the assumption of convex preferences to this theorem?(c) Explain the concept of the utility possibility frontier. What is the role of the utilitypossibility frontier in the social welfare maximization problem of a welfarist society?
Student question Time Left :00:09:43Suppose there are two consumers, A and B. The utility functions of each consumer are given by: UA(X,Y) = 2X + Y UB(X,Y) = Min(X,Y) The initial endowments are: A: X = 5; Y = 3 B: X = 2; Y = 2 a. Illustrate the initial endowments in an Edgeworth Box. Be sure to label the Edgeworth Box carefully and accurately, and make sure the dimensions of the box are correct. Also, draw each consumer’s indifference curve that runs through the initial endowments. Is this initial endowment Pareto Efficient? b. Now suppose Consumer A gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”) c. Now suppose Consumer B gets all of both goods. Is this allocation Pareto Efficient? (You do not need to draw a new graph or illustrate this on the existing graph. Simply answer “yes” or “no.”)

1. Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economicsa. Describe the theorem, making sure that you define clearly the terms used in thedescription (e.g. if you use the term “efficient” you have to describe what this means).b. Explain why the theorem implies that there is no intrinsic trade-off between efficiencyand interpersonal equity. c. Demonstrate your argument using an Edgeworth box, making sure that you describe allthe elements of the box appropriately.
4. Show how to construct the reference dependent utility function for two friends Kate and Mary whose gains and losses are listed as follows : Kate's net worth is $ 4.5 million ( decreased from $ 5.5 to $ 4.5 million ) Mary's net worth $ 3.2 million ( increased from $ 3 to $ 3.2 million ) ( First determine the reference point ( use a parameter ) and then derive reference utility function for each ) .
Pls help with below homework. Describe the model of optimal distribution of Paul and peter with an appropriate graph.
Mr. Dogan has 4000 TL to spend. He considers buying meat whose price is 400 TL per kg. and cheese whose price is 160 TL /kg. Given this a) What condition (equality) leads him to a utility maximization. State the condition numerically and tell clearly what each of the variables mean in that equation b) Now suppose that income of Mr. Dogan and price of meat does not change but price of cheese is down to 130 TL/kg. Do the equality and optimal basket found in a still maximize the utility? If not; what is the new condition for utility maximization (write the condition as a numerical equation defining the variables in the equation)

Suppose that the initial allocation is point a between Ross and Rosa. A. Discuss how Ross’s condition be made better off without harming Rosa (i.e., Rosa maintains her level of utility). B. Illustrate this in a separate diagram and label point/s as necessary (also, if other point/s will have to be made or incorporated).
Suppose a family (with 1 child) earns $50,000 per year and there is no publicly provided education. Assume the price of other goods is $2,000 and the price for education/ year is $5,000. Draw the family's budget constraint. Show how free public education worth $20,000 per student changes the budget constraint. Draw a set of indifference curves to show that the family increases education consumption after b. Show how a school voucher redeemable for $20,000 worth of education changes the family's budget constraint. What happens to the amount of education the family purchases for the child?
