Consider a two-person exchange economy where two goods, x and y are available in limited quantities of 50 and 100, respectively. The preferences of the two persons, Anil and Binod are given by the utility functions U_(Anil)(x_(Anil), y_(Anil)) = x_(Anil)⁰·⁴ y_(Anil)⁰·⁶ U_(Binod)(x_(Binod), y_(Binod)) = x_(Binod)⁰·⁶ y_(Binod)⁰·⁴ If they decide to share good y equally among themselves, the amount of good x Anil receives is (in integer)
Also written as: Consider a two-person exchange economy where two goods, x and y are available in limited quantities of 50 and 100, respectively. The preferences of the two persons, Anil and Binod are given by the utility functions U_(Anil)(x_(Anil), y_(Anil)) = x_(Anil)^(0.4) y_(Anil)^(0.6) U_(Binod)(x_(Binod), y_(Binod)) = x_(Binod)^(0.6) y_(Binod)^(0.4) If they decide to share good y equally among themselves, the amount of good x Anil receives is (in integer)
