1-a Answer following questions by using the Cobb-Douglas utility function u= xx and assuming that the price of good 1 is pi and good 2 is p2. Assume 0< a<1, pi>0, p2>0, and income I>0. Suppose that we consider a tax on housing. We can analyze the impact of tax by analyzing the consumption of square feet of housing (x1) and the dollars of "other goods consumption" (x2). Suppose that t dollar of tax is imposed per square feet of housing. Show graphically and explain in words, how much the total tax revenue (T), the consumer would be willing to pay to remove such a tax (L), and the dead weight loss would be by drawing the indifference curve of the consumer.
