Substitution Effect = AB (+), when the price of X (Px) increases, the purchasing power of good X will increase and the purchasing power of good Y will decrease. ES with M cateris paribus, is a shift from point A to point B in a positive direction. Effect of Income = BC (+), when the price of X (Px) falls, the real income will increase so that the purchasing power of goods X and Y also increases.EI is a shift from point B to point C in a positive direction. The total effect obtained from the SE + IE value is (+), then the goods are Normal goods, where normal goods follow the law of demand, namely if the price of X falls, then purchases of goods X will increase.
