(b) $7.5/home ticket, and no more than $100 purchase per person; $45/road ticket, and no more than $250 purchase per person.

This type of change is not abnormal, in that as average household incomes rise, preferences might change. For instance, as households move from poor to middle-class, their consumption of beef might increase. However, as households move from middle- class to upper-middle-class, they might choose to purchase more exotic foods products. Assuming you are a beef producer in 1983, what will happen if incomes continue to increase? a. The marginal cost of beef will increase. b. The marginal cost of beef will decrease. c. The demand for beef will increase. d. The demand for beef will decrease.
