Question

5.6 There are two goods (quantities are denoted by r and y) and no production is possible. Amy, Bev, and Cal all have the exact same preferences for the goods, represented by the utility function a(z,y) = ry. Any owns the bundle (12, 4), Bev owns the bundle (44), and Cal owns the bundle 4. 12). Determine whether each of the following allocationsis n the core, and show why your answer is the right one. (a) (xA , ya)= (8,8), (zB+ye) = (44), (xc,yc)= (8,8) (b) (ZA,IA)-(48), (zB'yB)_ (44), (zc,yc)= (7,7)

Explanation / Answer

Amy adores cute things, and peppers her speech with little expressions that would be cute if she was 4 instead of 40 (For instance, she refers to people she dislikes as "meanies"). She is also extremely susceptible to flattery, and has had crushes on several men over the course of the series.

She is not particularly villainous. Although her gene-splicing experiments are ethically dubious at best, she generally has no intention of doing anything evil with the monstrosities that she creates.

DNAmy's favorite color is pink, which says much of what there is to know about her. She is incessantly cheerful, has a tendency to be flirtatious, and is attracted to anything that is cute or fluffy (as seen in the second season episode "Partners", her secret weapon is a gigantic dog). This personality makes her rather atypical compared to the other villains in Kim Possible's world, although if asked, DNAmy would most likely not categorize herself as a villain. After all, she has no schemes or plans to take over the world. If anything, Amy could be categorized as simply being a slave to her own insanity, as she is so focused on her obsessions that she'll do just about anything to get what she wants.
