<span>Put all of these numbers in a line...obviously, don't put ALL of them, but enough so you can see what you're doing. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 Now put all these numbers BACKWARDS underneath that. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 297,624,985 + 297,624,984 + 297,624,983 + ... + 1 Now add the first series to the second, and you'll see that they add up to: 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + ...297,624,986 Since there were 297,624,985 terms, the total sum here is 297,624,986 * 297,624,985 But since you added it twice, you divide it by two: 148,812,493 * 297,624,985 This is 44,290,315,996,937,605, so...yes, it is MUCH larger.</span>

Answer:

d) The change to the equilibrium price of French chocolate souffle is ambiguous and the equilibrium quantity of French chocolate souffle falls

Inferior goods are those goods whose demand falls with the rise in the income of the consumer.

As per the given case, French chocolate souffle is an inferior good. When income of the consumer rises, his demand for French chocolate souffle will fall.

Similarly, when producers of such an inferior good decrease, the supply of French chocolate souffle shall fall.

With respect to the original equilibrium level, the demand curve shall experience a leftward shift i.e decrease whereas the supply curve too experiences a leftward shift i.e supply falls.

At the new equilibrium level, definitely the equilibrium quantity shall fall, but the change in equilibrium price cannot be ascertained as per the given information.
