(d. Is not the correct answer)
Consider two substitute products X and Y. Consumers are willing to pay a maximum price of $2 per unit of X, and $2.50 per unit of Y. If the market price of Y is equal to $2, what is the maximum market price for product X?
If a good is an "inferior good", then
people feel inferior when they buy it
people buy less of this good when their income increases
people buy more of this good when their income increases
the demand curve for this good is inferior to the demand curve of other goods

- Consider the market for apartments. The market price of each apartment is $300,000, and each buyer demands no more than one apartment. Suppose that Lorenzo is the only consumer in the apartment market. His willingness to pay for an apartment is $480,000. Based on Lorenzo's willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for apartments.
