If his Income increase proportionately faster than the demand for a product, then the Income elasticity of demand for the product Is: Multiple Cholce greater than 1. greater than zero but less than 1. zero. equal to 1.

Suppose that for Abraham, the income elasticity of demand for movie tickets is +0.25, and for Sarah, the income elasticity is +1.6. Based on this information we can conclude that.
The likelihood that a child will attend a love musical performance modeled by: q=0.01(0.0005x2+0.41x+36). (15=<x=<100) Here, q is the fraction of children with unusual household income x thousand dollars who will attend a live musical performance during the year. Compute the income elasticity of Demand E at an income level of $30 000.
Pam is rich and at this high income level, her demand for good X is independent of income and given by X*=40.1- 5 px/py where px and py denote respectively the price of good X and the price of good Y. Assuming the price of good Y is equal to 1, find Pam's compensating variation if the price of good X rises from 2 to 4.3 dollars.

Suppose the value of income elasticity of demand for a private college education is equal to 1.5. This means that: Group of answer choices -every $1 increase in income provides an incentive for a $1.50 increase in expenditures on private college education. -every $1.50 increase in income provides an incentive for a $1 increase in expenditures on private college education. -a 10 percent increase in income causes a 15 percent increase in the quantity of private college education purchased. -a 15 percent increase in income causes a 10 percent increase in the quantity of private college education purchased.
Assume that product X is quantified in the following manner:QDX= -2PX + 0,5PY - 0,2PZ + 1,2I. In which:QDX is a quality of product XPX is the price of product XPY is the price of product YPZ is the price of product ZI is the entry of the center of the userMake an argument to determine whether the demand curve for product X will change and how it will change for each of the following cases:i. Consumer income increasesii. The price of product X decreasesiii. The price of product Y increasesiv. The price of product Z decreases
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about +0.5. Suppose a major brokerage firm advised its clients to buy cigarette stock under the assumption that, if consumer income rise by 50 percent as expected over the next decade, cigarette sales would double. Based on the fundamental economic principles on income elasticity of demand, a reasonable reaction to this investment advice would be?
The utility function of a certain consumer is U =(x1,x2)= x11/3 x22/3 , x 1and x 2 is the consumption of two kinds of goods, and the consumer's income is 100. The current prices of the two kinds of goods are P 1 =1 and P 2=2 respectively, ask: 1. If the price of the first commodity increases from 1 to 2, and other factors remain unchanged, what is the total effect of the price increase on the consumption of the first commodity? According to the Slutsky decomposition principle, what are the income effect and substitution effect? 2. Calculate the amount of income compensation that changes the price of the first commodity from 1 to 2, keeping the original effect unchanged
