Rick consumes 2 goods, Chicken McNuggets (M) with Szechuan sauce (S). His utility function is U(M, S) = M2/3 S1/3 and his income is m. The price of Chicken McNuggets is p, and the price of Szechuan sauce is 1.  On the same graph, show the income and substitution effects of the increase in p from 1 to 2 on Rick’s consumption of Chicken McNuggets. Are Chicken McNuggets a normal or inferior good for Rick? Explain your answer.
