In a pure exchange economy, Ollie's utility function is U(x, y) = 3x + y and Fawn's utility function is U(x, y) = xy. Ollie's initial allocation is 1 x and no y's. Fawn's initial allocation is no x's and 2 y's. Draw an Edgeworth box for Fawn and Ollie. Put x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis. Measure goods for Ollie from the lower left and goods for Fawn from the upper right. Mark the initial allocation with the letter W. The locus of Pareto optimal points consists of two line segments. Describe these line segments in words or formulas and show them on your graph.
