Tommy is about to order a steak dinner with a salad at his favorite restaurant. The restaurant recently raised its prices on steaks but kept its prices on salads the same. How might the real-income effect and the substitution effect influence Tommy’s order?

Answer:

Explanation:

Each of these effects would most likely influence Tommy's order differently. The real-income effect would most likely cause Tommy to buy the large steak and salad regardless of the increase in price since individuals tend to spend more when they start making more money. The substitution effect on the other hand would most likely cause Tommy to order a smaller steak since it costs more but at the same time order, more salad since the price has not increased as the steak did.
