4. When income goes from $15,000 to $25,000 quantity demanded goes from 10,000 to 8,000. Using the mid-point formula what is the income elasticity of demand and what type of good is it?

Step 1
- Initial income (\(I_1\)): $15,000 - Final income (\(I_2\)): $25,000 - Initial quantity demanded (\(Q_1\)): 10,000 units - Final quantity demanded (\(Q_2\)): 8,000 units Show more…

a) Calculate income elasticity of demand, if income increases from Br.10,000 to Br.20,000 and if income increases from Br.40,000 to Br.50,000. b) Is this a normal, inferior, or luxury good? Justify. c) Does the proportion of household income spent on this good increase or decrease as income increases? Why?

Income of a person is 8000 and he uses 60 units of a commodity. Calculate income elasticity of demand when the income increased by 30% and consumption of the good is decline by 50% Calculate 1. New income2. New consumption 3. Income elasticity4. Nature of good
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from $\$ 8$ to $\$ 10$ if (i) your income is $\$ 20,000$ and (ii) your income is $\$ 24,000$. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $\$ 20,000$ to $\$ 24,000$ if (i) the price is $\$ 12$ and (ii) the price is $\$ 16 .$
