An exchange economy has two consumers, named Jimmy and Sue, and two commodities, apples and bananas. Jimmy’s initial endowment is 2 units of apples and 4 unit of bananas. Sue’s initial endowment is 4 apples and 4 units of bananas. Jimmy’s utility function over apples and bananas is U(AJ, BJ) =AJ1/2 BJ1/2. Sue’s utility function is of the form U(AS, BS) =AS+BS, where AJ and BJ are the amounts of apples and bananas for Jimmy and AS and BS are amounts of apples and bananas for Sue.The equation of the contract curve in terms of Jimmy’s coordinates is:________
a. BJ= 2AJ
b. BJ=(A2J)/2
c. BJ=AJ
d. BJ= (8AJ)/(1+AJ)
e. None of the above
