Since the two goods, skis and bindings, are perfect compliments, the substitution effect of a price change in bindings will be zero.


On the other hand, the income effect due to an increase in the price of bindings will be equal to the total change. Therefore, there will be a fall in the real income due to the bindings price change which will affect both the demand of skis and bindings.
