Answer to Question 1

First, derive the demand equation using the budget constraint and the fact that T = C. Then
T = I/(pt + pc)
Using calculus,
T/I = -I/(pt + pc)2
The income elasticity is:
T = -I/(pt + pc)2  (I/T) = -1

Answer to Question 2

False. Games with multiple Nash equilibria are not DS.
