Assume that lobster is a normal good. An increase in consumer income, other things being equal, would result in... A. a leftward shift in the demand curve for lobster. B. a rightward shift in the demand curve for lobster. C. an increase in the quantity demanded for lobster. D. a decrease in the quantity demanded for lobster. E. no change in the demand for lobster. :/ What do you think? @ganeshie8 :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since the good is not inferior, the increased income allows the consumers to buy more lobsters and consequently the demand for lobster's will increase, yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes:)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the "Quantity" demand increases for the same "Price"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means the demand curve shifts right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay thank you!! :D could I ask another one in this post? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A. demand to shift left B. supply to shift left C. demand to shift right D. supply to shift right E. no change or shift ***Which do you think it would be? @ganeshie8 :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its same as previous question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since the incomes are reduced, that results in demand to shift left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can we select more than one option ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that makes it easy to answer

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

On a demand curve, we fix all other variables like economy, players personal lives, free hats and other promotional offers. right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only thing that matters is the price of good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and ohh okay :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if the price increases or decreases, the quantity demanded decreases or increases

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be A then? :O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yup!
