Please answer part ii only. Consider an economy with two goods t = 1, 2. Whenever an individual consumes ri units of good 1 andT2 units of good 2, their utility is given byu(x1, 12) = Inx1+ 5 In x2,where d is a parameter taking values 0 < 8 < 1.(i) How does the parameter ð affect the marginal rate of substitution between goods 1 and 2? Explainintuitively how does the relative preference for goods 1 and 2 change as the parameter ổ increases. Consider an exchange economy with two consumers, A and B, whose utilities are given as above. How-ever, the parameter ð is lower for consumer A than for consumer B, i.e., we have 8ª < 8B. Consumer Ais endowed with 2 units of good 1, but has no endowment of good 2. Consumer B has no endowment ofgood 1, but has 2 units of good 2. In the remainder of this question, let p denote the price of good 1 andthe price of good 2 be normalised to 1.(ii) Find the competitive equilibrium price p and the equilibrium allocation expressed as a function ofthe parameters &A and 85. Who is consuming more of good 1 and who consumes more of good 2?Interpret your results by referring to your answer in part (i).

Consider an exchange economy with two consumers, A and B, whose utilities are given as above. How- ever, the parameter d is lower for consumer A than for consumer B, i.e., we have ª ≤ 6³. Consumer A is endowed with 2 units of good 1, but has no endowment of good 2. Consumer B has no endowment of good 1, but has 2 units of good 2. In the remainder of this question, let p denote the price of good 1 and the price of good 2 be normalised to 1. (ii) Find the competitive equilibrium price p and the equilibrium allocation expressed as a function of the parameters 84 and 6B. Who is consuming more of good 1 and who consumes more of good 2? Interpret your results by referring to your answer in part (i).

Please pass question on to someone with more knowledge. I do not like using up my questions for wrong answers.
Imagine you are the mayor of a town and you are trying to decide if you should pay for a fireworks show. Your staff survey your 400 citizens who say that they each value a fireworks show at $10. The fireworks show only costs $3,000 so you put on the show but when you ask for donations to pay for the fireworks you only receive $25 total. What does this result show? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. You staff's survey must have overestimated the value of a fireworks show. b The fireworks cost must have been greater than their economic benefit. The firework show suffered from the Tragedy of the Commons problems d The town's citizens were free-riders.
