A price change causes the quantity demanded of a good to decrease by 30 percent, while the total revenue of that good increases by 15 percent. Is the demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.
The income elasticity of demand for a product is defined as $E_{\text {income }}=|I / q \cdot d q / d I|$ where $q$ is the quantity demanded as a function of the income $I$ of the consumer. What does $E_{\text {income }}$ tell you about the sensitivity of the quantity of the product purchased to changes in the income of the consumer?
