Question
Chapter 3, Problem 8P
To determine
To Explanation:
The following questions associated with table given.
- 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.
- Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the
demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good? - 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.
