question 55

Multiple Choice

Professor Nightsoils utility function is U N (B N, P N) = B_N + 4P^1/2_N and Dean Interfaces utility function is U I (B I, P I) = B_I + 2P^1/2_I, where B N and B I are the number of bromides and P N and P I are the number of platitudes consumed by Nightsoil and Interface respectively.If Nightsoils initial endowment is 5 bromides and 20 platitudes and if Interfaces initial endowment is 3 bromides and 20 platitudes, then at any Pareto efficient allocation in which both consume positive amounts of both goods,

• A)Nightsoil consumes the same ratio of bromides to platitudes as Interface.
• B)Interface consumes 8 platitudes.
• C)Interface consumes 4 bromides.
• D)Interface consumes 4 bromides"
• E)Interface consumes 4 bromides
