Remember Bonnie and Clyde from your workbook? Suppose that their total profits are 112H, where H is the number of hours they work per year.Their utility functions are, respectively, U_B(C_B, H )= C_B - 0.02H ² and U_C(C_C, H )= C_C - 0.02H ², where C_B and C_C are their private goods consumptions and H is the number of hours they work per year.If they find a Pareto optimal choice of hours of work and income distribution, the number of hours they work per year must be

Question 21

Bob and Ray are thinking of buying a sofa.Bob's utility function is U_B(S, M_B)= (1 + S)M_B and Ray's utility function is U_R(S, M_R)= (3 + S)M_R, where S = 0 if they don't get the sofa and S = 1 if they do and where M_B and M_R are the amounts of money they have respectively to spend on their private consumptions.Bob has a total of $800 to spend on the sofa and other stuff.Ray has a total of $1,600 to spend on the sofa and other stuff.The maximum amount that they could pay for the sofa and still arrange to both be better off than without it is

Question 24

Lucy's utility function is 2X_L + G and Melvin's utility function is X_MG, where G is their expenditures on the public goods they share in their apartment and where X_L and X_M are their respective private consumption expenditures.The total amount they have to spend on private goods and public goods is $33,000.They agree on a Pareto optimal pattern of expenditures in which the amount that is spent on Lucy's private consumption is $9,000.How much do they spent on public goods?
