Answer:

PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • % change in quantity = {(Q 2 − Q1 ) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300 ) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 =  -100 / 250 = -0.4
  • % change in price = {(P2 − P1 ) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75 ) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286

PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values

b. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are normal goods.

c. The price will increase, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

d. The price will decrease, because dry beans and rice are inferior goods.

Inferior goods are those goods whose quantity demanded decreases as consumer income increases. This happens because inferior goods have several substitute products that cost more, but as consumer income increases, consumers will tend to purchase the more expensive substitute goods instead of the cheaper inferior ones. I.e. as consumer income increases, they will seek to purchase higher quality goods, and inferior goods are generally low quality goods that are mostly purchased by people located at the lower socio-economic classes. Other examples of inferior goods are canned meat, instant noodles and cheap frozen foods.

Since the quantity demanded of inferior goods decreases as the economy improves, the demand curve shifts to the left, which will result in a lower equilibrium price.
