Provide an example of the following and indicate the type of income elasticity we may expect from each of them and why? a. A normal good b. A necessity c. An inferior good d. Define elasticity
A. Normal good: Inlastic Good
As demand for normal good increases with an increase in price this it is elastic good. Eg. Mobile phone,Bike
B. Necessity: Perfactly Inelastic
As the good is a necessity thus changes in the prices won't reduce the demand for the product. Eg. Bread, vegetables
C. Inferior Good: Perfactly elastic
As an slight increase in will highly decreaase the demand for the goods because people may switch to luxurious goods in this case.
D. Elasticity: elasticity basically represents the sensitivity or change in one variable with the corrosponding change in the other variable. It could be of various type like income elasticity, demand elasticity. Demand elasticity for instance refers to the change in the demand for a product with change in the price of the product.

Income elasticity of demand Calculate the income elasticity of demand for the following demand functions and assess its magnitude (is the good normal, inferior, a luxury or a necessity?). Q =50 -10p + 3Y, at p = 2 and Y = 20 Q = 5 - 20p + 4Y, at p = 1 and Y = 50 Q = 70 – 3p – 2Y, at p = 15 and Y = 5 Q = 35 - 20p + 0.5Y, at...
