So I'm pretty sure I figured out number one and I believe the answer to number two is Normal. I am using derivatives to figure this call; dQ/dM * m/Q
Suppose the market demand function for a given product is π = 12 β π + βπ, where π
is the productβs price and π is aggregate income.
a. Calculate price elasticity (π) at π = 2 and π = 100. Is demand elastic, inelastic,
or unit elastic at these values? (2 pt)
b. Calculate income elasticity (ππ) at π = 2 and π = 100. Is this a normal good or
an inferior good? (2 pt)
c. Now suppose a single producer is operating in this market. Fixing income at
π = 100, use the inverse demand curve to derive the total revenue and marginal
revenue functions of this producer, π
(π) and ππ
(π).
