If income increases and the demand for good decreases, then is good X a normal or inferior good? Is the income elasticity of demand for good X positive or negative?
As the price of good X increases from $20 to $24, the quantity demanded of good Y increases from 200 to 228. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? Calculate the Cross elasticity of demand.
Suppose there is a 20 percent increase in the price of good X and a resulting 40 percent decrease in the quantity of X demanded. What is the price elasticity of demand for X? Is demand elastic or inelastic and why?
