Assume in the market with two consumers, Chloe and Oliver. Chloe is endowed with 9 units of good 1 and 6 units of good 2. Oliver is endowed with 18 units of good 1 and 3 units of good 2. They have the same utility function U(x1, x2) = x11/3x22/3. If we let the price of good 1 is $1, then what will be the equilibrium price of good 2?

a. $2

b. $12

c. $1

d. $6

Consider a 2x2 pure exchange Edgeworth box economy. Each consumer is endowed with two units of x and one unit of y. Consumer A has (strictly) monotonic preferences over good x and is otherwise indifferent between any levels of good y. The preferences for consumer B are given by Ub(x, y) = x + 2y. What ratio of prices Px/Py will clear both markets?
