A. How much coffee and how much milk Boris buy per week?

B. How much coffee and how much milk Boris per week if the price of coffee rises ro $6 / oz?

C. Graph the two budget constraints and the two optimal bundles with coffee on the x-axis. On the graph, show how much of the total change is due to the income effect? How much to the substitution effect?
