To Explanation:

The following questions associated with table given.

Microeconomics, Chapter 3, Problem 8P

  1. Do you think the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from $21 to $19) is due to a rise in consumer’s income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not.
  2. Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good?
  3. Lastly, assume you do not know whether the good is normal or inferior. Devise an experiment that would allow you to determine which one it was. Explain.

Concept Introduction:

Normal Goods: Normal goods are those goods which have a direct relationship between the income and quantity demanded. When income increases the quantity demanded also increases and vice versa.

Inferior goods: The inferior goods are those kinds of goods it demanded decreases when the income of the people increases for e.g. Potatoes

Demand: The demand is defined as the ability to pay for goods and services.
