If P is 50 pence, Y is £20 000 and Pm is 40 pence, what is the estimated value of Qd? .................................................................................................................................................. If the price of butter went up by 6 pence per kilo, all other things equal, what would happen to the estimated demand for butter? ................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................. Going back to the original price of 50 pence, if the value of Y now rose to £22,000 what would happen to the estimated demand for butter?
- If P is 50 pence, Y is £20 000 and Pm is 40 pence, what is the estimated value of Qd?

- What is the income elasticity of demand for butter according to your calculations in (c)? What sort of good is butter according to this result?

- Again, going back to the original demand, if the price of margarine now rose by 10 pence what would happen to the demand for butter?

- If we introduced another variable, TIME, into the demand for butter equation so that the original equation becomes:
Qd = 145 – 1.25P – 0.001Y + 2Pm – 4.5TIME
Where the TIME term takes a value of 1 for 2001, 2 for 2002 and so on, until it has a value of 10 for 2010.
What would happen to the estimated demand for butter? And why might this happen?
