Consumer A has an endowment of 5 units of x1 and none of x2, whereas Consumer B has an endowment of 3 units of x1 and 15 units of x2. Consumer A's utility function is given by uA=xA1xA2, and Consumer B's utility function is given by uB=min{xB1,xB2}. Both goods are traded in competitive markets.

Solve step by step so that I grasp the concept4) Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods, (x, y), and two consumers, (1, 2). Consumers' endowments are e1 = (4, 2) and e? = (6, 6) And their preferences are represented by utility functions: u(x, y) = x³y and u(x,y) = x³y$ (d) Set up the utility maximization problem for each consumer and solve for their Marshallian demand functions. (e) Compute the market demand for each good. () State the Walrus law for this economy and explain its economic interpretation. (g) Assume the excess demand for good x is zero, i.e., EDx = 0, and calculate the ratio of prices, i.e., p Ipy . Then, use this ratio of prices to show that the excess demand for good Yis also zero, i.e., EDy= 0. Briefly explain how this relates to the Walrus' law. (h) Given the price ratio found above, calculate the equilibrium allocations and show that feasibility, individual rationality, and Pareto efficiency holds.

Consumer A has an initial endowment TA = i >0 of good X, an initial endowment yA = 0 of good Y, and preferences over consumption bundles that can be represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function uA(TA: YA) = ", where ra is the quantity of good X, yYA is the quantity of good Y, and a € (0, 1) is a preference parameter. Consumer B has an initial endowment ig = 0 of good X, an initial endow- ment js = j > 0 of good Y, and preferences over consumption bundles that can be represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function up(rB, YB): B1-3 where rB is the quantity of good X, YB is the quantity of good Y, and BE (0, 1) is a preference parameter.

- Persons A and B are roommates. Person A smokes and Person B does not. The index s measures how smoky the room is. It varies from s=0, when there is no smoke in the room, to s=1, when the room is filled with smoke. Thus, 1-s measures how "clean" the air in the room is. Person A's utility function is ua(XA,S)=XA.S, where xĄ is the amount of money Person A owns. Person B's utility function is ug(xg, 1s)=xB .(1-s), where xg is the amount of money Person B owns. Each person starts with an endowment of 5 units of money. Person A has the legal right to a fill up the room with smoke and there exists a market for smoke "abatements".
