To determine whether a good is considered normal or inferior, one could examine the value of the a. cross-price elasticity of demand for that good. b. price elasticity of demand for that good. c. price elasticity of supply for that good. d. income elasticity of demand for that good.

Cross-price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of one good to a change in the price of another good. This is not relevant to determining if a good is normal or inferior. b. Price elasticity of demand measures the Show more…

Suppose the income elasticity of demand is -0.5 for good X. This implies that a 5% decrease in income will cause the quantity demanded of good X to decrease by 2.5%, and X is a normal good.
When a negative income elasticity for a good results in income increases leading to a decline in demand for that good we can say that the good can be termed either: (a) Normal Good (b) Inferior Good (c) Compliment d) Substitute Which is it?
