Question
  1. A change in consumer’s expectations causes a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain. A change in price of the goods results in a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain (Word count: 250 words max.)

Buyers' expectations about future prices can affect the demand curve. If consumers expect prices to increase, they buy more of a product now, and the demand curve moves to the right.

  1. A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows:

Price               Quantity demanded

 Rs.230                           70

210                                90

190                              110

170                              130

  1. Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not.

 

  1. Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for an inferior good?
