B đoes not. The index s measures how smoky the room is. It varies from S3D0, when there is no smoke in the room, to s=1, when the room is filled with smoke. Thus, 1-s measures how "clean" the air in the room is. Person A's utility function is uA(XA,S)=XA.S, where xA is the amount of money Person A owns. Person B's utility function is ug(XB,1s)=Xg.(1-s)3, where xg is the amount of money Person B owns. Each person starts with an endowment of 5 units of money. Person A has the legal right to a fill up the room with smoke and there exists a market for smoke "abatements". At the Walrasian equilibrium, how much money will person B be left with? O a. XB=1.25 O b. XB=2.25 O c. XB=0.25 O d. XB=0.25 O e. None of the other answers.
