Constructing the Pareto Efficiency Curve by Plotting Allocations
The Pareto efficiency curve, which represents the entire collection of Pareto-efficient allocations, can be visually constructed. This is accomplished by plotting the points corresponding to Angela's consumption () and free time () for every feasible amount of grain () allocated to Bruno. The range for Bruno's allocation () extends from zero up to the maximum amount of grain that can be produced, given by the function .

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?

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?

Tracing the Angela-Bruno Pareto Efficiency Curve by Varying Bruno's Share
In a two-person economy, a producer chooses between free time and consumption of a good they produce. The amount of the good available depends on how much time they work. A second person receives a share of that good. The set of all allocations where it is impossible to make one person better off without making the other worse off is plotted on a graph, with the producer's free time on the horizontal axis and their consumption on the vertical axis. If we trace this set of allocations by systematically increasing the share of the good given to the second person, what is the resulting effect on the producer's combination of free time and consumption?
Imagine a scenario with a producer who decides how much free time to have and how much of a good to consume. The amount of the good produced depends on their work time. A second individual receives a portion of this good. You are tasked with constructing the curve that represents all allocations where it is impossible to make one person better off without harming the other. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to construct this curve.

Constructing the Set of Efficient Allocations
In an economic model, a producer chooses between free time and consuming a good they produce. The graph of their possible outcomes has their free time on the horizontal axis and their consumption of the good on the vertical axis. A second person, who does not work, also receives a share of the good. The curve representing all the efficient combinations of free time and consumption for the producer is downward sloping. Match each point on this curve to the description of the allocation that generates it.
Consider an economic scenario with a single producer who decides between free time and producing a good. The total amount of the good produced is then distributed between the producer and a second individual. In this scenario, the curve representing all technologically possible combinations of the producer's free time and total output is identical to the set of all allocations from which no one can be made better off without making someone else worse off.
In a two-person model where a producer chooses between free time and consumption, the curve representing all efficient allocations is constructed by plotting the producer's consumption against their free time. Each point on this curve corresponds to a specific, fixed amount of the good allocated to the ________.
In an economic model, a producer chooses between free time and consumption of a good they produce. A second individual, who does not work, receives a share of this good. The set of all allocations where it is impossible to make one person better off without making the other worse off is represented by a curve on a graph with the producer's free time on the horizontal axis and their consumption on the vertical axis. What do the two endpoints of this curve signify?
