Explain the general determinants in one paragraph. GENERAL DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND• Good’s own price (P) is the key determinant of demand• Other determinants of demand:1. Level of income (Y) of the potential purchasers of the good or service.a. Normal good – a good in which an increase in income raises its sales.b. Inferior good – a good in which an increase in income causes a reduction in spending.2. Prices of related goodsa. Substitute good – a good in which can substitute for another good (competitor’sgood). An increase in the price of the substitute good or service causes an increase indemand for the another good.b. Complementary good – a good that complements with another good. That is, anincrease in demand for one causes an increase in demand for the other. An increase inthe price of a complementary good reduces demand for the another good.3. Population (number of consumers that consume goods/services)4. Tastes and preferences5. Consumer’s expectation towards future market…

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-explain your reasoning for each categorization.
