I. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.
