Remember Tommy Twit from Chapter 3. Tommy is happiest when he has 8 cookies and 4 glasses
Question:
(a) On the graph, shade in the area consisting of combinations of cookies and milk that both Tommy and his mother agree are better than 7 cookies and 8 glasses of milk, where “better” for Mrs. Twit means she thinks it is healthier, and where “better” for Tommy means he likes it better.
(b) Use black ink to sketch the locus of “Pareto optimal” bundles of cookies and milk for Tommy. In this situation, a bundle is Pareto optimal if any bundle that Tommy prefers to this bundle is a bundle that Mrs. Twit thinks is worse for him. The locus of Pareto optimal points that you just drew should consist of two line segments. These run from the point (8,4) to the point 5,7 and from that point to the point 2,7.
