A consumer has income of $3,000. Fresh Juice costs $3 per glass, and cheese costs $6 per pound.   (a) Draw the consumer's budget constraint (put cheese on the horizontal axis). What is the slope of this budget constraint?    (b) The price of cheese rises from $6 to $10 per pound, while the price of Fresh Juice remains $3 per glass. For a consumer with constant income of $3,000, show what happens to consumption of Fresh Juice and cheese (assuming both are normal goods). Decompose the change into income and substitution effects. Be sure to clearly mark all relevant information in your diagram.
