00:02 The coefficient of income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of good to changes in income.
00:09 It's calculated by taking the percentage change in quantity demanded and dividing it by the percentage change in income.
00:14 In this case, the income elasticity of demand can be calculated as follows...
