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?
