Question

Consider that your income has decreased this year from $50,000 to $10,000. You bought 2 quantities of product B last year and decide to purchase 9 quantities of product B this year. Keeping all other factors the same, which statement is correct regarding your income elasticity of demand and product B?

Answer 1

The statement that is correct regarding the income elasticity of demand and product B is E. The income elasticity of demand is -0.95 and the designer jeans are considered inferior goods.

From the complete question, the elasticity of demand will be calculated thus:

= (9 - 2)(50000 + 10000) / (2 + 9)(10000 - 50000)

= -420/440

= -0.95

Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is -0.95 and the designer jeans are considered inferior goods since it has a negative income elasticity of demand.
