The percentage change in the quantity demanded due to a 1 percent change in income, holding preferences and relative prices constant |
|
Any good the demand for which decreases as income increases and increases when income decreases, prices and preferences held constant |
|

|
The locus of all points representing the quantities demanded of a good at various levels of income, prices and preferencesheld constant |

1 |
Income elasticity˃1 |
No option is given. But it is luxury goods. The income elasticity of luxury goods is greater than 1.(YED ˃1.) |
2 |
Price elasticity = -1 |
Inferior goods. Negative income elasticity is associated with inferior goods whose demand decrease with rise in income. (YED<0) |
3 |
The percentage change in quantity demanded due to a 1 percent change in income, holding preference and relative prices constant. |
Income elasticity. Income elasticity of demand explains the percentage change in quantity demanded of a good due to a given change in income. It assumes that the price of the good and preferences remaining constant. |
4 |
Any good, the demand for which decreases as income increases and increases when income decreases, prices and preferences held constant |
Inferior goods. The demand for inferior good decrease when income increases because the consumers substitute luxury goods in place of inferior goods. |
5 |
Price elasticity˃-1 |
Price elastic. The demand is elastic when the elasticity is˃1. |
6 |
The locus of all points representing the quantities demanded of a good at various levels of income, prices and preferences held constant |
Angel curve. An angel curve shows the quantities demanded of a good at varying levels of consumer’s income. The theory assumes the price of the good and preferences of the consumer remaining constant. |
7 |
The percentage change in quantity demanded given a one percent change in price, income and preference held constant. |
Price elasticity. Price elasticity shows the percent change in quantity demanded due to a given percent change in price. |
8 |
Shows the relationship between prices and the quantity demanded of 1 good |
Demand curve. The demand curve shows the inverse relationship between demand and price of a commodity. |
