Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. 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. Can you come up with a name for each category?
The avenge annual income rises from 25,000 to 33,000, and the quantity of bleed consumed in a year by the avenge person falls from 30 loaves to 22 loaves. What is the income elasticity of bread consumption? Is bread a normal or an inferior good?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?

Consider the same apple-juice market. Suppose now, the demand curve a liter of apple-juice is given by: P = 107 - 5QD. i. Calculate the price elasticity of demand of apple-juice when price rises from 55 to 80. Give your answer in two decimal places. After the price rise, the income of a person goes up from 31033 to 46187. The new demand curve is P = 132 - 5QD. ii. Calculate the income elasticity of demand. Give your answer in two decimal places. iii. Due to this increase income, has demand become more or less elastic? More elastic Less elastic Income and demand elasticity are not related Not enough information given iv. If the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occurred before the rise in price, what would the YED be? Give your answer in two decimal places.
