Suppose the absolute price of good X is $10 and the absolute price of good Y is $5. A tax is placed on the purchase of good X only and not another good Y. The tax effectively raises the consumer’s pay for good X from $10 to $15. Now, the relative price of one unit of good X is (1)________ units of a good Y.  The relative price of one unit of good Y is (2)________ units of a good X.  *Hint: therefore, the tax makes good X relatively more expensive and makes good Y relatively cheaper.
