PROBLEM 3 – Slutsky Equation, Income Effect, Substitution Effect, and Total Effect There are two goods which quantities are to be denoted by x and y, while prices are denoted by px and py, respectively. There is a consumer whose income is to be denoted by I and utility by u. His expenditure function is known to be: *see image* a. Find the consumer’s uncompensated demand function for good x and good y.

A consumer's utility function is given by u (r_y) := r'/2y}/2 for any nonnegative x and y, representing the consumption quantities of goods x and y, respectively. Suppose that the price of good y is constantly ¢1, and that the consumer is given income m cedis (and nothing else). Denote p, for the price of good r.
