1. If the percentage change in quantity demanded of a good is less than the percentage change in buyer's income, then the good is said to be “income inelastic”
Income inelastic means that demand changes less than the income of the buyer
2. Income elasticity of demand for good A is -0.22. Good A is income “Inelastic” and is a(n) “inferior” good.
When elasticity is less than 1, then demand for that good is inelastic. If good A elasticity is -0.22, then it is inferior good because demand for inferior good fall with rise or change in income
