My friend Marie decides to set aside $200 from her paycheck every month. How will this affect her demand curve? (You don't have to use specific numbers, just explain)
When Marie sets aside money from her paycheck, this is the same thing as a decrease in her income. Remember that when income increases, the demand curve shifts outwards to reflect the increase in spending. In this case, Marie's demand curve will shift inwards as she tries to economize more than usual. She will buy fewer goods, even if the prices don't change. Illustrate in graph
Suppose that when the price of a good rises by 8%, the quantity demanded that good falls by 13%. What is the approximate change in total expenditure (or total revenue)? Express your answer as a percentage.
I got -6% but it is incorrect.
in an economy C is equal to 300+0.5 Y and I= Rs.600 where C is consumption and Y is income calculate (a) equilibrium level of income (b) the consumption expenditure at equilibrium level of an income.

- A short article in the January 10, 2011 edition of The New York Times discussed the amount spent on DVDs over the past six years: (In 2004) consumers spent about $21.8billion to rent and and buy DVDs, Blu-ray discs, digital downloads and other forms of home entertainment...The number has fallen every year since, for a total drop of about 13.8 percent, to $18.8 billion in 2010. The reporter noted that the actual drop was about double what it seemed to be when the figures were adjusted for inflation: $21.8 billion figure from 2004 would amount to $25.3billion in current dollars.
