Assume that coffee and tea are substitutes. John and Pamela are vendors at MANCOSA campus. John sells tea and Pamela coffee. They usually sell these drinks at R15 per cup. However, it is a cold Monday morning and Pamela decides to decrease the price of coffee to R12 a cup. The resultant effect would be movement along the demand curve for coffee takes place since it is a change in the price of coffee. Select one: O True O False

Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
As the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? What is the cross elasticity of demand?
