An individual allocates $306 each month to buying two goods, X and Y, in such a way that maximizes their utility U (X,Y) = 2X Yi. Good X costs $4.25 and Good Y costs $17. If MUX and MUY , calculate the substitution and income effect for Good X when the price of Good X falls to $3.40. Do not round your intermediate calculations, but you can round your final answers for units of X and Y to two decimal places.
