If the income elasticity of demand for a good is greater than 1, the demand for the good is income elastic. c. If the income elasticity of demand for a good is equal to 1, the demand for the good is income unit elastic. d. If the income elasticity of demand for a good is less than zero, the good is a normal good. If the cross elasticity of demand for good A with respect to good B is +2.7, then good A is a. an inferior good. b. a normal good. c. a substitute for good B. d. a complement to good B If the cross elasticity of demand coefficient between goods X and Y is negative, then goods X and Y must be a. complements. b. substitutes. c. normal goods. d. inferior goods For a certain good, when price rises from $90 to $98, quantity demanded falls from 7,400 to 6,500.
