Sebastian received a raise this year so his income climbed from $45,000 to $52,000. Last year Sebastian purchased 2 sunglasses. This year he has purchased 7 sunglasses. Assuming that all of the other things remain constant, what type of a good are sunglasses and what type of income elasticity of demand does Sebastian have

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

normal good

elastic demand

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.

Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income

percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%

percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%

250 / 15.6 =  16.07

If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.

Answers

Options:

a. 14.58%  

b. 12.83%  

c. 15.46%  

d. 16.33%  

e. 16.92%

We calculate for the future value of a lump sum:

Principal \: (1+ r)^(time) = Amount

Principal 78,000.00

time 12.00

rate 0.03000 (3% = 3/100 = 0.03)

78000 \: (1+ 0.03)^(12) = Amount

Amount 111,209.35

This is the amount Harry will get when visit the bank with Hagrid in his 12th birthday assumming the interest rate keep constant over the 12 years period.

"Every individual necessarily labors to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally indeed neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.
