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. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
You are a market analyst, and you are hired to analyze the demand for good X Identify the reason that will result in a shift to the right of the demand curve for X? O A decrease in the price of X An increase in the price of a good that is a complement to good X An increase in the price of a good that is a substitute for X all of the above
. Individual and market demand Suppose that Eric and Ginny are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly demand schedules: Price Eric’s Quantity Demanded Ginny’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per slice) (Slices) (Slices) 1 6 16 2 3 12 3 2 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Eric’s demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Ginny’s demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. ( the graph has attached as an image)

Consider apples and oranges, which we'll assume are substitutes. If the price of oranges falls, we'll see in the market for apples and in the market for oranges. None of the listed options is correct. O a decrease in quantity demanded; an increase in demand a decrease in demand; an increase in quantity demanded a decrease in quantity demanded; a decrease in demand an increase in demand; a decrease in quantity demanded.
Suppose the income elasticity of demand for food is 0.45 and the price elasticity of demand is - 1.00. Suppose also that Felicia spends $10,000 a year on food, the price of food is $2, and that her income is $25,000. If a sales tax on food caused the price of food to increase to $2.50, what would happen to her consumption of food? Because a large price change is involved, use the arc elasticity to measure the price elasticity of demand rather than a point elasticity. Felicia's consumption of food would decrease by 1000.00 units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose that Felicia gets a tax rebate of $2,500 to ease the effect of the sales tax. What would her consumption of food be now? (Again, use an arc income elasticity to answer this question instead of a point income elasticity.) Felicia's consumption of food would now be 4,175.18 units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Is she better or worse off when given a rebate equal to the sales tax…
Two goods are complements when a decrease in the price of one good O decreases the quantity demanded of the other good. O decreases the demand for the other good. O increases the quantity demanded of the other good. increases the demand for the other good.
