Answer:

This statement is true.

Explanation:

The concept of income elasticity measures a change in the demand because of change in the income of the consumer.

It is calculated as the ratio of change in demand to change in income.

A person was earning $10,000. Her income increased to $20,000.

Her consumption of macaroni decreased from 10 pounds to 5 pounds.

While her consumption of soy-burgers increased from 2 pounds to 4 pounds.

Income elasticity for macaroni

= \frac{\% \Delta Q}{\% \Delta Y}

= \frac{\frac{5-10}{5} }{\frac{20,000 -10,000}{10,000} }

=\frac{\frac{-5}{5} }{\frac{10,000}{10,000} }

=\frac{-1}{1}

= -1

Income elasticity for soy-burgers

= \frac{\% \Delta Q}{\% \Delta Y}

= \frac{\frac{4-2}{2} }{\frac{20,000 -10,000}{10,000} }

=\frac{\frac{2}{2} }{\frac{10,000}{10,000} }

= 1

So, we see that macaroni has a negative income elasticity, its demand decreases with increase in income. Macaroni is an inferior good.

Soy-burgers sow a positive income elasticity. Their demand increases with increase in income. They are normal goods.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Mode Name: BS-485 Half Duplex Mode 2 wires

Reason 1:  less Noisy

Reason 2:  Allows upto 32 receivers

Explanation:

The BS-485 is an electrical interface, that supports half-duplex mode through 2 wires, and full-duplex mode through four wires. However, here, we only need the half-duplex mode, and that is enough as the recordings are to be shown on the screen, which is the receivers, and they do not need to talk to the transmitter, while the transmitter is transmitting the recordings to the screen. And since, BS-485 supports around 32 receivers, its more than enough for this question requirement. So its half-duplex mode, and an example of the Serial data transmission. And also, it's synchronous, as there is no stop in between the data packets.
