Use the following table to answer questions 49 and 50. Reservation Prices and Costs in Econland for a Widget Reservation Cost to price for one widget $18 D make oneS person D1 widget $2 person S1 D2 16 4 S2 D3 14 6 S3 D4 12 8 S4 D5 10 10 S5 D6 8 12 S6 D7 6. 14 S7 D8 4 16 S8 D9 2 18 S9 D10 20 S10 49. The table above provides reservation prices and costs of the inhabitants of Econland. Suppose we have an allocation where D7 consumes a widget but D1 does not. This is not Pareto Efficient because: a. D1 could give D7 $1 for the widget, and both are better off b. D1 could give D7 $10 for the widget, and both are better off c. D1 could give D7 $20 for the widget, and both are better off d. D1 could give D7 $5 for the widget, and both are better off e. None of the above 50. Suppose we have an allocation where S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 produce a widget, and D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 consume a widget. a. This is not Pareto efficient because we can have S9 sell to D1 for $18, S8 sell to D2 for $16, S7 sell to D3 for $14 and so on until S1 sell to D1 for $2 and this is a Pareto improvement b. This is not Pareto efficient because S6 could sell a widget to D6 for $10 and both would be better off c. This is not Pareto efficient because the principle of efficient production is violated d. This is not Pareto efficient because S3 should offer money to S7 and outsource widget production e. None of the above: this IS Pareto efficient
