Suppose the preferences of an individual are represented by a quasilinear utility function: U (x, y) = ln(x) + y (a)Suppose px =1, py =5 and I = 20. The price of x increases to 2 (px = 2). Calculate the changes in the demand for x. What can you say about the substitution and income effects for small changes in the price of x? What happens to the demand for y? Is y a gross substitute? (b)Now suppose px...
