From the information given in the preceding question (in which Ming views X and Y as perfect complements), we know that O when the price of Y increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts in. O when the price of Y increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts out. O when the price of X increases, Ming's demand curve for X shifts out. O Ming's demand curve for X is a horizontal line. O Ming's demand curve for X is a vertical line.

Consider a product market with three consumers A, B and C with demand function PA = 6 – QA, PB = 6 – 2QB and PC = 12 – QC respectively, where P is the price in dollars and QA, QB and QC are the quantities demanded by Consumer A, B and C respectively. The marginal cost of the product is constant at $4. (i) If the product is public good, analyse the product and determine the optimal quantity of the product in the market.(ii) How will your answer be different if the product is a private good instead?

1. Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods and two consumers. Let F denote food and C denote clothing. Lacy has the utility function U(F, C) = F 1/3 C 2/3 . Roy has the utility function V (F, C) = F 2/3 C 1/3 . Each consumer has an initial endowment consisting of 9 units of F and 9 units of C. Normalize the price of F to one. Let P denote the price of C. (a) Is the initial endowment a Pareto efcient allocation of F and C between the two con sumers? Explain briefy. (b) What is each consumer’s demand for F and C as a function of P? [Hint: the wealth of each consumer is 9 + 9P.] (c) What is the price of C in a competitive equilibrium? (d) What is the allocation of F and C between the two consumers in a competitive equilibrium?
