What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. 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?
How does one analyze a market where both demand and supply shift?
If a 10 decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8 increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10 decrease in the price cause another 3 increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
