Activity: Finding and Sketching the Pareto Efficiency Curve Under Various Scenarios
This is an application-based activity where one must determine and graphically illustrate the Pareto efficiency curve for different economic contexts or under varying assumptions about preferences and production functions. This task involves identifying the full set of Pareto-efficient allocations and then plotting them to visualize the curve.

Condition for Pareto Efficiency: No Unconsumed Goods
Consider a simple economy with two individuals, Priya and Quentin, and fixed total amounts of two goods: apples and bananas. Priya's satisfaction depends only on the number of apples she consumes; she is completely indifferent to the quantity of bananas she has. Quentin's satisfaction increases with his consumption of both apples and bananas. Which of the following statements accurately describes the complete set of all efficient allocations of these goods?
A freelance graphic designer earns $100,000 in total annual revenue. They spend $10,000 on software, supplies, and marketing. To start their business, they quit a job that paid an annual salary of $75,000. They also used $10,000 of their personal savings to buy a computer; these savings could have earned a 10% annual return. What are the designer's annual accounting and economic profits?
Evaluating an Allocation's Efficiency
In a two-person, two-good economy, any allocation of goods that lies on the Pareto efficiency curve is considered fair and equitable to both individuals.

Condition for Allocations on the Pareto Efficiency Curve
Consider an exchange economy with two individuals, Leo and Mia, and fixed total quantities of two goods: X and Y. Leo considers goods X and Y to be perfect 1-for-1 substitutes. Mia, however, considers them to be perfect complements, always wanting to consume exactly one unit of Y for every one unit of X. Which statement best describes the set of all Pareto-efficient allocations (the contract curve) in this economy?

Determining the Pareto Efficiency Curve with a Cobb-Douglas Utility Function
Consider an economy with two individuals (Person A and Person B) and a total of 10 units of Good X and 10 units of Good Y. Both individuals only gain satisfaction by consuming the goods together in a fixed one-to-one ratio (e.g., they are equally happy with 3 units of X and 3 units of Y as they are with 3 units of X and 5 units of Y). An allocation is considered efficient if it is impossible to make one person more satisfied without making the other less satisfied. In a standard allocation diagram where the dimensions are 10x10, Person A's consumption is measured from the bottom-left corner and Person B's from the top-right. Which of the following best describes the set of all efficient allocations?
