If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ will Max’s demand for both goods double? To set his MRS equal to the price ratio‚ Max sets (y+1)/x = 2. His budget constraint is 2x + y = 10. Solve these two equations to find that x=11/4 and y=9/2. If his income doubles and prices stay unchanged‚ his demand for both goods does not double
