1. Debbie consumes only D (Donuts) and E (Eggs). Furthermore, it is known that she considers D and E to be "perfect complements" at a 2:1 ratio (i.e. 2 donuts has to go with 1 egg). Based on this, answer the following:
a) Derive Debbie's demand for Eggs (you should get E as a function of M, Pp and Pe).
b) Suppose Debbie's income is $100, while PD = $3 and PE = $4. How much D and E would Debbie be consuming? What is the elasticity of demand for E? What is the income elasticity of demand for E? What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for E?
c) Suppose Pe rose to $7. Graphically show the effect. Be sure to decompose into a substitution effect and an income effect. How much income is need to compensate Debbie for the effect of the price increase?
