You have data on Timon's quantity demanded for Bud Light beer and their income. According to this data when Timon's income rises by 6% the associated change in their quantity demanded for Bud Light is 14%. You don't know if it is an increase or decrease in quantity demanded. From past research you know that Bud Light is an inferior good for Timon. Use this information to calculate Timon's income elasticity of demand. Remember, for some elasticities, we take the absolute value. For others, we do not. Include a negative sign if needed.
