Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For the first question about tobacco (a normal, income - inelastic good): Income - inelastic means that the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in income. When income decreases, for a normal good, quantity demanded decreases. So a 10 percent decrease in income will decrease quantity demanded by less than 10 percent.
- For the second question about a price - elastic good: In price - elastic demand, the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price. When price (P) increases by 1%, quantity demanded (Q) will decrease by more than 1%. Total revenue (R = P×Q) will decrease because the decrease in quantity demanded is large enough to outweigh the increase in price.
Answer:
First question: decrease, less Second question: decrease by more than 1%, decrease
