Assume the following bundles of goods are offered to Karl and Madeline: Karl Apples eoge Steak 0 1 2 3 20 12 9 7 MV Steak Steak 0 123 Madeline Apples 14 6 1 0 MV Steak Assume Karl and Madeline are indifferent between bundles a) through d). Calculate the MV of the first, second, and third steak for both persons. Assume Karl starts with bundle a) and Madeline starts with bundle d). Karl and Madeline are allowed to trade goods at a price of one steak for 4 apples. Will exchange occur? Why or why not? If exchange does occur, what bundles will Karl and Madeline ultimately end up with after all exchange is complete? Are Karl and Madeline better off after exchange is complete? Prove it.
