Jose consumes wallets (q1 ) and a composite of other goods (q2 ). The price of wallets is p1 and the price of other goods is p2 = 1
Jose's utility from wallets depends also on his income—with a higher income, he values a wallet more because he has more to put inside it! His utility is given by the equation U(q1,q2 ) = q1Yq2 Derive Jose's demand for wallets.
q1* = Y/(1 + Y)p1
