Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Higher income reducing demand for an inferior good — the economic interpretation: Elastic demand. II. Higher income increasing demand for a normal good — the economic interpretation: Rightward demand shift.
Correct answer: D
I is incorrect: Higher income reducing demand for an inferior good → Leftward demand shift. Demand for an inferior good falls as income rises. II is correct: Higher income increasing demand for a normal good → Rightward demand shift. At each given price consumers demand more.
