Questions and Answers

Which variable does income elasticity of demand measure the sensitivity of?

  • Other variables
  • Quantity demanded (correct)
  • Consumer income
  • Price

What is the formula for income elasticity of demand?

  • EI_d = %ΔQx_d / %ΔI (correct)
  • EI_d = %ΔQx_d * %ΔI
  • EI_d = %ΔQx_d - %ΔI
  • EI_d = %ΔQx_d + %ΔI

What does a positive income elasticity of demand indicate?

  • Quantity demanded increases as income increases (correct)
  • Quantity demanded is not affected by changes in income
  • Quantity demanded is affected by changes in other variables
  • Quantity demanded decreases as income increases
