In the regional market for housing, demand for single detached homes depends on the price of the house, P. consumer income, N, and the price of a related good, townhouses, P. The demand equation is Q = 0.1N+0.08P,-0.01PH Initially, average consumer income is N= $40,000 and the average price of townhouses is $285,000. Making these substitutions, we get Q=26,800 -0.01PH- This is our current demand equation. Suppose income changes from $40,000 to $50,000. What is the income elasticity of demand for housing when the price is $240,000? Click the icon to view the derivation of the current demand equation. ***

Assume the demand function for good X can be written as: QX = 30 - 3PX + 2PY + 0.2I Where PX is the price of good X PY is the price of good Y I is the consumer income. a) Based on the demand curve above, is X a normal or inferior good? b) Based on the demand curve above, what is the relationship between good X and good Y? c) What is the equation of the demand curve if consumer incomes are $40,000 (use $40, income in thousands) and the price of good Y is $35?
When the price of a good increased by 2%, the quantity demanded of it decrease 10% does this have close substitutes or poor substitutes? Is this good more likely to be a necessity or a luxury, and to be nearly or broadly defined
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is

Suppose you are provided with the following demand and supply curves for shoes: QD = 400 - 3P QS = 200 + 2P A) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. B) Calculate the consumer spending at the equilibrium price.
In the following question you are asked to determine, other things equal, the effects of a given change in a determinant of demand or supply for product X upon (1) the demand (D) for, or supply (S) of, X; (2) the equilibrium price (P) of X; and (3) the equilibrium quantity (Q) of X. If X is a normal good an increase in income will Multiple Choice increase D, increase P, and increase Q. increase S, increase P, and increase Q. decrease S, increase P, and increase Q. decrease D, decrease P, and increase Q
The demand for Good X in New Bedford, MA is given by the following equation: Qd=60-40P+2I-30Py where: Qd is the quantity demanded of Good X P is the price of Good X I is income Pb is the price of Good Y Without performing any calculations, determine if Good X and Good Y are substitutes, complements, or unrelated goods. Explain how you used the function to make this determination. Without performing any calculations, determine if Good X is a normal or inferior good. Explain how you used the function to make this determination. On a clearly labeled graph, plot the demand curve assuming the price of Good Y is $6 and income is $700
