The average annual income rises from 25,000 dollar to 38,000 dollar and the quantity of bread consumed in a year by the average person falls from 30 loaves to 22 loaves. What is the income elasticity of bread consumption? Is bread a normal or an inferior good?

Becky only eats out at Macaroni Grill and eats out three times per month. She receives a raise from $31,000 to $33,500 and decides to eat out five times per month. Use the midpoint method to calculate the monthly income elasticity of demand for eating out. Round your answer to two decimal places. Income elasticity of demand: This good is an inferior good, a luxury good, or a normal good.

00:01 This question is walking us through finding the income elasticity of demand for bread consumption, given the information that the average income was $25 ,000 and it's now $38 ,000, and that the bread quantity consumed was 30 loaves and now it's 22 loaves.
00:14 So part a calculating this elasticity of bread consumption, we're going to be using the formulas you see in blue and green.
00:21 So starting with plugging in our percent change in quantity demanded, that's equal to a negative 30 .77 percent...
