2. Individual and market demand Suppose that Nick and Rosa are the only consumers of scented candles in a particular market. The following table shows their annual demand schedules: Price Nick's Quantity Demanded Rosa's Quantity Demanded (Dollars per candle) (Candles) (Candles) 2 16 28 4 10 20 6 6 12 8 2 6 10 2 On the following graph, plot Nick's demand for scented candles using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Rosa's demand for scented candle using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for scented candles using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.

Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
Maria has decided always to spend one third of her income on clothing. a. What is her income elasticity of clothing demand? b. What is her price elasticity of clothing demand? c. It Marias tastes change and she decides to spend only one fourth of her income on clothing, how does her demand curve change? What is her income elasticity and price elasticity now?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
What is the difference between the supply and the quantity supplied of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with the supply curve for milk.
What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
Suppose both of these events took place at the same time. Combine your analyses of the impacts of the iPod and the tariff Induction to determine the likely impact on the equilibrium price and quantity of Sony Walkman-type products. Shaw your answer graphically.
