A) coefficient in the price = -11.4
B) coefficient on average income = 0.5
C) the product is a normal good. Since there is a positive relationship between the quantity demanded and Income which is shown by a positive coefficient on Income.

Consider that the general demand function for a product X is estimated to be Qd = 500 – 5P + 0.5M + 10PY - 2PZ Where Qd is quantity demanded of good X, P is price of good X, M is consumer income (in thousands), PY is price of good Y, and PZ is price of good Z. a. Based on the estimated demand function, what is the relationship between good X and good Y; between good X...

Suppose the following is an estimated log-linear demand function: ln Q = 8.99 – 3.78 ln P – 1.77 ln M – 2.03 ln PR All parameter estimates are significant. 1) Is this good a normal or an inferior good? 2) Is this good a complement of or substitute for the related good? 3) What is the price elasticity of demand for this good? 4) What is the income elasticity of demand for this good?
A firm with market power faces the following estimated demand and average variable cost functions: Qd = 39,000 - 500P + 0.4M - 8,000PR AVC = 30 - 0.005Q + 0.0000005Q2 where Qd is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good. The firm expects income to be $40,000 and PR to be $2. Total fixed cost is $100,000. What is the estimated demand function for the firm? Qd = 40,000...
An economic consultant for X Corp. recently provided the firm’s marketing manager with this estimate of the demand function for the firm’s product: Q d x = 98 − 4Px + 6Py − 1M where Qd x represents the amount consumed of good X, Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y , and M is income. Suppose good Y sells for $2 per unit and consumer income is $10. (a) Are goods X and Y substitutes...
