question 30

Multiple Choice

Suppose that in Problem 8, Mutt's utility function is U(m, j) = max{ 2m, j} and Jeff's utility function is U(m, j) = 3m + j.

If we draw an Edgeworth box with milk on the horizontal axis and juice on the vertical axis and if we measure goods for Mutt by the distance from the lower left corner of the box, then the set of Pareto optimal allocations includes the
