The substitution effect is shown by the movement from (Point A to Point B, Point A to Point C, Point B to Point C). Owing to the substitution effect, the Smiths (buy more wine in general because the price change has raised their purchasing power, buy more grade A wine and less grade B wine because the former has become relatively less expensive). The real-income effect is shown by the movement from (Point A to Point B, Point A to Point C, Point B to Point C). Owing to the real-income effect, the Smiths (buy more wine in general because the price change has raised their purchasing power, buy more grade A wine and less grade B wine because the former has become relatively less expensive).

![John and Leslie Smith buy two grades of wine: Grade A, which they buy for special occasions, e.g., dinner parties, and Grade B,
which they drink with their evening meals. The price of Grade A wine suddenly falls by half, encouraging them to drink at least
some grade A wine (and somewhat less grade B wine) with their evening meals.
The accompanying diagram shows the Smiths' initial wine budget constraint, BL₁, and the wine budget constraint they face, BL2,
when the price of grade A wine falls. BL is a hypothetical budget line that reflects the new relative prices of the two kinds of
wine.
a. Place point A to show the Smith's initial optimal consumption bundle and point C to show their final optimal consumption
bundle. Place point B to show a hypothetical optimal consumption bundle that reflects the new relative prices but controls for
the effects of the change in price on income.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F80fac62b-1f91-4b94-88b2-6d2c841a4645%2F56bda1c3-db47-4a9a-ade8-cf4d4f74ba97%2Fqrkmqub_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
