Consider the following demand equation for bananas: QD = 1,000 - 50 P - 0.2 Y + 15 Ps, where P is the price of bananas, Y is the monthly income, and Ps is the price of strawberries. According to this equation, a $1 increase in monthly income will cause a in the quantity demanded for bananas, holding the other variables constant. 0.2 unit increase 5 unit increase O 5 unit decrease 0.2 unit decrease

A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of Cheetos demanded but no change in the price of Cheetos. From this information, we can assume: O Cheetos are an inferior good and price elasticity of demand is less than 1. O Cheetos are a normal good and price elasticity of demand is greater than 1. Cheetos are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is equal to zero. Cheetos are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is infinite.
