Consider a fall in the price of X in the standard two-good consumer model. Prove that if Y is a gross complement for X, then Y must be a normal good. You can arrive at an answer diagrammatically by considering the income and substitution effects of a fall in Px. If instead Y is a gross substitute for X, is it still true that Y must be a normal good? 2.

    A consumer buys two goods, good X and a composite good Y. The utility function is given as U(X, Y) = 2X1/2+Y. The demand function for good X is X = (Py/Px)2. (Edit: The price of X is Px, the price of Y is Py.) Suppose that initially Px=$0.5 and then it falls and becomes Px=$0.2 Calculate the substitution effect, income effect, and the price effect and show the answer graphically.
