Every month, Sam spends 0.7 of his income on gasoline, no matter what the price is. The price of good X is 4.6 and Sam's income is 65.2. It follows that the absolute value of the slope of Sam's inverse demand curve is equal to
The relationship between a consumer's income and quantity of X , he consumes is given by the equation M = 1000Q^2 . Calculate his point income elasticity of demand for X when income is 64,000
Q: Sally gets a raise of 12%, and as a result, her demand for burgers decreases by 9%. What is the income elasticity of Sally’s demand for burgers? Are burgers a normal good, an inferior good, or neither for Sally?
3. Consider the following demand function for the good X: QX = (√RPY)/2PX 3.1. Finding the Price Elasticity of Demand (ƐP,D), Income elasticity of demand (ƐR,D) and Cross-elasticity of demand (ƐC,D). Use the values PX = 2, PY = 4 y R = 9. Interpret the results. 3.2. Are X and Y substitute or complementary goods? Explain your answer.
If the cross-price elasticity of demand for good X with respect to good Y equals 0, how is that value interpreted? These goods are complements, and the quantity demanded of good X increases if the price of good Y decreases. These goods are unrelated, and a change in the price of good Y has no effect on the quantity of good X demanded. These goods are normal goods, and a change in buyers income increases the quantity demanded of good X. These goods are substitutes, and the quantity demanded of good X decreases if the price of good Y decreases.
If X has many close substitutes, there will be large substitution effects (what will theindifference curves look like?). -The demand curve is likely to be flat, with a small increase in price leading to a large decrease in demand.For a normal good, the IE reinforces the SE, causing demand to be flatter. -For an inferiorgood, the IE dampens the SE, leading to a steeper demand curve. Can someone graph the Demand curve for a normal good and an inferior I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Thanks Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

When a negative income elasticity for a good results in income increases leading to a decline in demand for that good we can say that the good can be termed either: (a) Normal Good (b) Inferior Good (c) Compliment d) Substitute Which is it?
Suppose that, by law, a person is required to consume a fixed amount of good X, say X0. Assuming X is a normal good, explain how this law reduces utility for both high and low income people.
Consumer buys 10 units of Good A when the price of Good B is $5. When the price of Good B rises to $6 (the price of Good A remaining unchanged) the consumer buys 14 units of Good A Using an appropriate formula, calculate this Consumer’s cross Elasticity of demand for Good A. Show your working. Is Good A, a substitute for, or a complement to, Good B? Explain your reasoning.
Suppose the change in the price of good A from $20 to $70 causes the individual's demand for good B to shift from D2 to D1. What is the cross price elasticity? Good A Good B $140 $140 $90 $90 $70 $70 $20 $20 D, D, D, 35 45 35 45 10 70 105 140 10 70 105 140
Question In the utility function above, x and y are substitutes.The Consumer Maximization Problem is as follows:Max(x;y)=5x + 6y subject to x + 2y = 10, We know MRSxy=5/6, find it by setting U(x, y) = U¯ and solving the utility function for y and what is the price ratio? Full explain this question and text typing work only thanks
Good X becomes cheaper to produce, decreasing its price. As a result, the demand for good Y increases. What can you say about the cross-price elasticity between the two goods? Moreover, discuss whether the two goods are substitutes, complements or neither.
