Person A and B both have the same income, and there are only two goods in the market: good X has the price of $6, good Y has the price of $4. Considering A and B may have different bundles for purchasing good X and Y, but they are on the same budget line with the same MRT and MRS, will their consumer surplus always be the same? or does it depend on the bundles?

This is the only info that we have: 2. It is illegal for any two firms that sell similar products to engage in price fixing agreements. Violating the anti-trust laws can bring both civil and criminal prosecutions. Nevertheless, price fixing does take place. Examples would be found at the service plazas along the NY State Thruway and the NJ Turnpike. Each location has a small number of fast food restaurants. Each fast food restaurant belongs to a different firm, which...
