- 7. Using the income elasticity of demand to characterize goods A survey taken by residents from the imaginary town of Draw City tells economists that the following changes result from an 11% fall in income: • A 13% increase in the quantity of kings demanded • A 14% decrease in the quantity of tokens demanded • A 30% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table. Then, based on the income elasticities, classify each good as either a normal good or an inferior good. (Hint: Be careful to keep track of the direction of change. The sign of the income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative, and the sign gives important information.)

When E = -00, the demand is perfectly elastic and when E = 0 the demand is perfectly inelastic. Essential goods such as basic foods tend to have inelastic demands; discretionary items, such as electronic equipment have elastic demands. Explain the meaning of these terms in this context.arrow_forward
