6. Given an estimated monthly demand function for avocados of Q = 104 - 40p + 20pt + 0.01Y, show how the demand curve shifts as per capita income, Y, increases from $4,000 to $5,000 per month. (Note: The price of tomatoes, pt, is $0.80.) Illustrate this shift in a diagram.

Given an estimated monthly demand function for avocados of $Q=104-40 p+20 p_{t}+0.01 Y$ show how the demand curve shifts as per capita income, $Y$, increases from $\$ 4,000$ to $\$ 5,000$ per month. (Note: The price of tomatoes, $p_{r}$, is $\$ 0.80$.) Illustrate this shift in a diagram.
Supply and Demand
Demand
Consider the estimated demand function for avocados: Q = 104 - 40p + 20pt + 0.01Y, where Q is the quantity of avocados demanded (measured in millions of lbs per year), p is the price of avocados, pt is the price of tomatoes, and Y is the income of consumers. If per capita income, Y, increases by $170 a year, then the quantity demanded changes by ____ million lbs per year. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
