If the demand function face by the consumer for good X is given by X=15+MP-120 Where X = Quantity demanded, M = income and P = Price of product X. Assume his original income is Kshs. 3200 per month and price of good X has increased from Kshs. 10 per unit to Kshs. 20 per unit. Calculate the magnitude of total effect (TE), substitution effect (SE) and income effect (IE) resulting from this change in price.
What term is used to describe goods that can replace each other to some extent, so that a rise in the price of one good leads to a higher quantity consumed of the other good, and vice versa? Complementary goods Normal goods Inferior goods Substitutes
Suppose that a 10 percent increase in the price of normal good Y causes a 5 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of normal good X. The coefficient of cross elasticity of demand is Multiple Choice negative, and therefore these goods are substitutes. positive, and therefore these goods are substitutes. negative, and therefore these goods are complements. positive, and therefore these goods are complements..
Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good
1. Assume that the inverse demand function for a good is given by p=f (q)=25/(2+q2), where p denotes the price per unit of the good in dollars and q denotes the quantity demanded of the good. Find the rate of change of quantity with respect to price.
Show that the two utility functions given below generate identical demand functions for goods X and Y: (1) U(X,Y) = log(X) + log(Y) (2) U(x,y) = (XY)0.5 What is the demand function for good X and Y for both utility functions?
The term “law of diminishing marginal utility” used in explaining downward sloping demand curves, others things constant, is best described by which of the following statements? The total satisfaction you obtain from consuming a good tends to fall. The average satisfaction you obtain from consuming a good tends to fall. The additional satisfaction you obtain from consuming an additional unit of a good tends to fall. The total satisfaction you obtain from the good tends to rise.
The demand and supply functions for three (03) goods are given as follows: Dx = 100-3Px+Py+3Pz Dy = 80+Px-2Py-Pz Dz = 120+3Px-Py-4Pz Sx = -10+Px Sy = -20+3Py Sz = -30+2Pz Determine the equilibrium prices and quantities of all three goods.
The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively.A) What is the equilibrium price and quantity? Calculate using the arithmetic method.B) Draw demand and supply curves for prices £0, £4, £6 ... £16.C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume.

Find own price elasticity, cross price, and income elasticity. Indicate whether goods Y and Z are substitutes or complements for good X. Good x is an inferior or normal good?
The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively. C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume. D) Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain. E) Use the demand equation in part (c) to compute price elasticity of demand between £5 and £6. Use the mid-point (arc) method.
In the following question you are asked to determine, other things equal, the effects of a given change in a determinant of demand or supply for product X upon (1) the demand (D) for, or supply (S) of, X; (2) the equilibrium price (P) of X; and (3) the equilibrium quantity (Q) of X. An increase in the price of a product that is a complement to X will Multiple Choice increase D, increase P, and decrease Q. increase D, increase P, and increase Q. decrease D, decrease P, and decrease Q. decrease S, decrease P, and decrease Q.
