Answer:

The answer to this question is b. Yours will be positive and your roommate's would be negative.

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand to changes in income. In other words, it measures how changes in income of consumers will affect the quantity of commodities demanded by such consumers.

An income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative.

It is positive, when an increase in income leads to an increase in the quantity demanded by the customer. However it is referred to as negative when an increase in income leads to decrease in the quantity demanded by the consumer.    

In  the question above, it can be seen that the increase in income of the first person brought about increase in the commodity demanded thereby making his income elasticity of demand positive. one the other hand, the increase in the income of his roommate, brought about decrease in his demand which translate to the fact that his income elasticity of demand would be negative.

Hence the answer given.

) Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity than do adults. Why might this be true?
Andru [333]

This statement is true. Teenagers have a higher price elasticity than do adults.

This is because teenagers does not have much income to spend so they can shift to other products also. Teenagers are also not addict to smoking or any other habits , Therefore price affects the demand of the product.

Price elasticity is defined as the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded due to percentage change in price.

Elasticity  having more than 1 are  relatively more elastic.

Adults have more income to spent so the demand do not effects due to change in price. As adults are more addicted to smoking then teenagers ,

addicted people did not consume less due to its price change.

Purchasing 70,000 x 1/3 = $23,333 DISTRICT 1

Purchasing 70,000 x 2/3 = $46,667 DISTRICT 2

Payroll 80,000 x1/3 = $26,667 DISTRICT 1

Payroll 80,000 x 2/3 = $53,333 DISTRICT 2

Sales 300,000 + 600,000 = 900,000

District 1 300,000/900,000 = 1/3

District 2 600,000/900,000 = 2/3

Purchasing 70,000 x 1/3 = 23,333

Purchasing 70,000 x 2/3 = 46,667

Payroll 80,000 x1/3 = 26,667
