Question
Consider a pure-exchange economy of two individuals (A and B) and two goods (X and Y) Individual A is endowed with 5 units of good X and 3 units of good Y, while individual B with 3 and 4 units of goods X and Y respectively. Assuming utility functions of individuals A and B to be UA=XA YA² and UB=XB² YB where X¡ and Y¡ for i= {A, B} represent individual i's consumption of good X and Y respectively, what will be the set of Pareto optimal allocation in this economy?

In a pure-exchange economy with two individuals, A and B, and two goods, X and Y, the determination of Pareto optimal allocations requires finding all allocations of goods between the two individuals such that it is impossible to make one individual better off without making the other worse off. The total endowments of goods in the economy are fixed: $X_T = X_A + X_B = 5 + 3 = 8$ units of good X, and $Y_T = Y_A + Y_B = 3 + 4 = 7$ units of good Y. Individual A has a utility function $U_A = X_A Y_A^2$, and individual B has a utility function $U_B = X_B^2 Y_B$. To characterize the Pareto optimal allocations, we use the concept of marginal rates of substitution (MRS). The marginal utilities of individual A with respect to goods X and Y are: $$ MU_{X_A} = \frac{\partial U_A}{\partial X_A} = Y_A^2 $$ $$ MU_{Y_A} = \frac{\partial U_A}{\partial Y_A} = ________ ____ _______ ______ ____ _____ __________ ___ ____ ____ ______.
