We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?

According to the midpoints formula, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B on the initial graph is approximately .
Suppose the price of bippitybops is currently $60 per bippitybop, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the price elasticity of demand between
points A and B is
, a $20-per-bippitybop decrease in price will lead to

So, you can get 71 Afghanis for $1? How cool. Does that mean you can buy a lot of stuff in Afghanistan for only $1? How do you know that your purchasing power in Afghanistan is stronger than in the United States? Yes, with an exchange rate of 71 Afghan Afghani for 1 US dollar, you can buy many things in Afghanistan for just $1. However, purchasing power isn't solely determined by the exchange rate. It also depends on the cost of goods and services in each country. For example, if a meal in Afghanistan costs 200 Afghanis, you would need about $2.82 to buy that meal in US dollars (since 200 Afghanis divided by 71 Afghanis per dollar equals approximately $2.82). So, while the exchange rate allows you to get more Afghanis for your dollars, you also need to consider how much things cost in Afghanistan. Now that the world seems to like Afghani stuff and is buying more of it, does that mean your…arrow_forward
