b. Suppose the price of books falls to $5. What are the two optimum points on the graph that represent the substitution effect (in sequence)? What is the change in the consumption of books due to the substitution effect?
c. Again suppose the price of books falls to $5. What are the two optimum points on the graph that represent the income effect (in sequence)? What is the change in the consumption of books due to the income effect? Is a book a normal good or an inferior good for; this consumer? Explain.
d. For this consumer, what is the total change in the quantity of books purchased when the price of books tell from $10 to $5?
