Income elasticity of food=%change in food expenditure/%change in income
Thus 20% of increases income will be spent on food
thus income increases by 100 units leading to an increase in food expenditure by $20.
Thus new food expenditure=420
b) When income elasticity=0.8
them food expenditure=400+80=480

Scenario 3 Suppose the government implements an income support program with the intention of making sure residents are able to purchase sufficient food. The government pays a cash benefit to all individuals with incomes less than $1000 according the following formula: cash benefit (CB) = $200 -0.2* (earned income()) Households spend all of their income on food (F) and other goods (X). The price of food and other goods are normalized to 1. A households budget constraint is F+X =...

2. Suppose household annual demand for gasoline follows the equationQD = 2000 – 500P + 25I where P is the price of a gallon of gasoline and I is household income in 1000s of dollars.Suppose that P = 3 and I = 60.What quantity of gasoline will households demand at this price and income level?__________What is the income elasticity of demand for gasoline at this price, income, and quantity level?__________What happens to the income elasticity of gasoline demand if I...

Assume that a household earning an annual income of $1000 enters the middle class, while a household earning $4000/year enters the upper class. When households move from extreme poverty to just being poor, energy use does not increase by much. These households typically use their growing incomes to consume more calories or higher quality calories. At the other end of the income distribution, when households move from middle to upper middle class, their energy use also does not change by...

Suppose the income elasticity of demand for food is 0.5 and the price elasticity of demand is -1.0. Suppose also that you spends $10,000 a year on food, the price of food is $2, and that your income is $25,000. Ifa sales tax on food caused the price of food to increase to $2.50, what would happen to her consumption of food (i.e. how many units of food does she consume)? (Hint: Because a large price change is involved, you...

Suppose that the daily income of Mundungundunguzika rises from K50 to K100. As a result of the increase, his purchases of bread increases from 2 loaves per day to 3 loaves per day. What is his income elasticity of demand for bread?
