There are two people in the economy: Martha and Charlie. There are two goods in the economy: books and wine. Martha is endowed w

ith 110 books and 20 wine bottles, while Charlie is endowed with 20 books and 45 wine bottles. Denote books with, b, and wine with, w. Martha has the utility function: U(b,w) = 6b+24w. Charlie has the utility function: U(b,w) = bw. At a pareto optimal allocation, the price of books is $1, while the price of wine is $4. How many books does Charlie consume at a pareto-optimal allocation in the exchange equilibrium?

Answer:

Charlie consumes 100 books and 25 wines at pareto-optimal allocation, is the right answer.

Explanation:

According to the question, book is denoted with b whereas, wine is denoted with w.

The Utility function of Martha is-  U\left ( b,w \right )=6b+24w

The Utility function for Charlie is- U\left ( b,w \right )=bw

P_{b} = $1 : P_{w} = $4

At pareto-optimality,

MRS_{bw}=\frac{P_{b}}{P_{w}}\\\frac{w}{b}=\frac{1}{4}\\4w=b\\

The budget constraint,

1.b+4.w=m=1\left ( 20 \right )+4\left ( 45 \right )\\b+4w=20+180\\4w+4w=200\\w=\frac{200}{8}=25\\\therefore b=100

Therefore, it may be said that Charlie must consume 100 books and 25 wine at pareto-optimal allocation.

Read the graph. What is the equilibrium price?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

$1.00

Explanation:

The equilibrium price is the prevailing market price represented by the intersection of the demand and supply curve. At the equilibrium price, the quantity demanded and quantity supplied match. It means that there are no shortages or excesses in demand or supply at the equilibrium price.

From the graph, $1 is the equilibrium price. It is the intersection of demand and supply curves.

hram777 [196]

Answer: False

Explanation:

A tariff is a tax that is imposed by the government of a particular country in order to curtail the number of imported goods brought into the country.

Based on the above scenario, the reduction in consumer surplus is not $500 million but rather $600 million which is the addition of $100 million, $200 million and $300 million.

Therefore the question is false.
