6. Using the income elasticity of demand to characterize goods Data collected from the imaginary economy of Tralfamadore reveals that a 15% decrease in income leads to the following changes: • A 9% increase in the quantity of farb demanded • A 17% decrease in the quantity of sogem demanded • A 29% decrease in the quantity of welk demanded Compute the income elasticity of demand for each of the goods described, and select the appropriate value in the following table. Then indicate whether the income elasticity for each good indicates that it is a normal good or an inferior good. Hint: Be careful to keep track of the direction of change. The sign of the income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative, and important information is conferred by the sign.

Research has found that the an increase in the price of Coca-Cola would increase quantity demanded for Pepsi. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship of Coca-Cola to Pepsi? In addition, research has found that the an increase in the price of hot dog buns would decrease quantity demanded for hot dogs. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between hot dog buns and hot dogs? Please explain in detail your logic for both of these relationships. Also, can you think of another example of products that would behave in similar ways to Coca-Cola/Pepsi and hot dogs/ hot dog buns?
Please help with following question Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -4, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 3, and the cross price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is -6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: The price of good X increases by 10%. The price of good Y decreases by 5%. Advertising increases by 14%. Income decreases by 8%. thanks
1. Suppose the demand for towels and supply of towels are given by the below: QD = 100 - 4P QS = P a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity using demand and supply functions above. b. Plot demand and supply curve on the same graph and point out the equilibrium quantity and price. You should draw each graph precisely with intercepts and slopes. c. Solve for the price elasticities of demand and supply at the equilibrium point. Which is more elastic: demand or supply? Simply explain why. d. Suppose there was a demand shock so that at each price 20 more towels are demanded since consumers want more. Plot the new demand curve on the graph that you derive in part (a). Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Hint: You may derive a new demand function by adding a constant to find a new equilibrium price and quantity.)
3. Suppose a 10% increase I price of a different product (such y), has resulted in a 30% decrease in the demand for OUR product (say, product X). What can you tell about cross elasticity of demand? (Calculate and demonstrate your answer). Are x and y substitutes or complement? Why?

7. Using the income elasticity of demand to characterize goods A survey taken by residents from the imaginary town of Draw City tells economists that the following changes result from an 11% fall in income: • A 13% increase in the quantity of kings demanded • A 14% decrease in the quantity of tokens demanded • A 30% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table. Then, based on the income elasticities, classify each good as either a normal good or an inferior good. (Hint: Be careful to keep track of the direction of change. The sign of the income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative, and the sign gives important information.)
