In the figure below, a consumer is initially in equilibrium at point C. The consumer’s income is P400, and the budget line through point C is given by P400 = P100X + P200Y. When the consumer is given a P100 gift certificate that is good only at store X, she moves to a new equilibrium at point D. Requirements: a. Determine the prices of goods X and Y. b. How many units of product Y could be purchased at point A? c. How many units of product X could be purchased at point E?
