Income effects depend on the income elasticity ofdemand for each good that you buy. If one of the goodsyou buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is aninferior good, what must be true of the income elasticityof the other good you buy?

The government of the island nation of Autarka has become increasingly concerned aboutthe health and wellbeing of low income households. Medical experts stress the importanceof a healthy diet in this regard. They have determined that, ideally, a household wouldconsume at least 5kg of fresh fruit and vegetables each week.The government has proposed implementing a new voucher scheme to ensure that the5kg per week consumption target is met. Under the government’s proposal, the voucherswould be redeemable for fresh fruit and vegetables, but could not be used for other typesof food, or for non-food consumption. Moreover, to limit the cost of the voucher scheme,the value of the vouchers sent to a household would be linked to the household’s income.Community groups in Autarka have expressed concern that a voucher scheme is unnec-essarily paternalistic; depriving low income households of the choice of how to spend theirincome. These groups argue that the government’s consumption targets could…
You have data on Meena's quantity demanded for craft beer and theirincome. According to this data when Meena's income falls by 7% theassociated change in their quantity demanded for beer is 11%. You don'tknow if it is an increase or decrease in quantity demanded. From pastresearch you know that craft beer is a normal good for Meena. Use thisinformation to calculate Meena's income elasticity of demand.
The following table shows three demand schedules for a person who likes toplay football and/or go swimming. In scenario S1, his income is $100,000 per yearand swimming cost $18 each. In scenario S2, his income is also $100,000 peryear, but the price of swimming rises to $22 per round. And in scenario S3, hisincome increases to $140,000 per year while swimming cost $22 per round.A. Use data under S1 and S2 to calculate the cross elasticity of demand for footballat all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the cross elasticity the same at allthree prices? What type of goods are football and swimming? Why?b. Use data under S2 and S3 to calculate the income elasticity of demand forfootball at all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the income elasticity thesame at all three prices?

Suppose an economist says that "Other things equal, the lower the price of strawberries, the greater the amount of strawberries purchased." This statement indicates that: one cannot generalize about the relationship between the price of strawberries and the quantity purchased. all factors other than the price of strawberries (for example, consumer tastes and incomes) are assumed to be constant. O the quantity of strawberries purchased determines the price of strawberries. O economists can conduct controlled laboratory experiments.
The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. (1.5marks) 0.49 milk is inelastic According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? (1 mark) When the price of milk rises milk producers revenue drop because the demand for milk dropped Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable? (Hint: Notice that The Globe and Mail is careless about the distinction between demand and quantity demanded.) (1 mark)
Mylie’s total utility from singing the same song over andover is 50 utils after one repetition, 90 utils after tworepetitions, 70 utils after three repetitions, 20 utils afterfour repetitions, 250 utils after five repetitions, and 2200utils after six repetitions. Write down her marginal utilityfor each repetition. Once Mylie’s total utility beginsto decrease, does each additional singing of the songhurt more than the previous one or less than the previousone?
Mr. Faisal sells Turkish Lamb Shawarma. During December 2019 Faisal sold 10,000 shawarmas at a price of PKR 600/shawarma. In January 2020 one of Faisal’s competitors, Mr. Rauf, reduced the price of a similar kind of shawarma from PKR 650 to PKR 550 and Faisal could sell only 8,000 shawarmas. Using arc method, compute and interpret the relevant elasticity of demand between Faisal and his competitor’s shawarmas.
