D

Answer to Question 2

A price change can be divided into a substitution effect and an income effect. The substitution effect is the effect of a change in price on the quantity bought when the consumer remains indifferent between the original situation and the new situation. The income effect is the effect of a change in income sufficient to get the consumer to the highest indifference curve that is affordable on the new budget line reflecting the price change.
