Answer to Question 1

The demand equations are
qi = Y/2pi
because income is a scalar of his utility and not chosen by Jose; it has no influence on his optimal bundle.

Answer to Question 2

False. Such an investment has a profit of zero. The investment is profitable if the internal rate of return exceeds the interest rate.
