- There are two goods π and π and there are two consumers π΄ and π΅ in a pure exchange economy. π΄ and π΅ have Cobb-Douglas utility functions of the form $π_π΄ = 2π^{0.4} π^{0.6}$ and $π_π΅ = π^{0.3}π^{0.7}$, respectively. Initially, π΄ is endowed with 50 units of good π and 20 units of good π. Similarly, π΅ is endowed with 50 units of good π and 20 units of good π. If the unit price of good π is normalised to 1, then the equilibrium unit price for good π is _____. (rounded off to two decimal places).

Tax Function: T = T0 + tY
Income Identity: Y = C + I0 + G0
Where, C = Consumption; Y = Real Income; T = Tax; I = Investment;
G = Government Expenditure; b = Parameter; t = Tax Rate
(The subscript 0 (zero) indicates that the concerned variable is autonomous)
