Question: Please make the graphs and be clear about how they were plotted! Two consumers, A and B have preferences over two goods T and K

Please make the graphs and be clear about how they were plotted!
Two consumers, A and B have preferences over two goods T and K.
- B's preferences are represented by u(T,K)= min{2K,T}
- A's preferences are represented by u(T,K)= min{4T + K/2, T + K, T/4+3K/2}
Suppose that total endowments are (wT,wK)=(30,15) and initially A is endowed with (1,6). The rest is in B's hands.
Questions:
a) Represent this in an Edgeworth box with O in the lower left corner with T on the x-axis and K on the y-axis. Find an expression for the contract curve and plot it.
b) Find an expression for the core in this economy and plot your answer.
