Rob 3
We can draw the utility curves of R and T in the edgeworth box. Since at the Walrasian Equilibrium, the market is clear and both agents are maximizing their utility given the initial endowment. Note: both indifference curves are straight lines, and Ut is steeper due to the higher MU of X.
In this graph, we find that the corner solution R = (3, 2) satisfies the conditions, and there's no incentive for either agent to trade X or Y. ...
