Answer:
The answer is: There was no consumer surplus in this situation.
Explanation:
consumer surplus refers to the difference between the maximum amount a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service.
In this case there was no consumer surplus, since Stacey was willing to pay only $2 for a bottle of mineral water and its price was $2.25, so she didn't buy it.
Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is <em><u>0.3333</u></em> making it a <em><u>normal and necessary</u></em> good.
The income elasticity of demand is given by :

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:



Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

<u>YED = 0.33333</u>
Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.
Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.
