    A luxury good means an increase in income causes a bigger percentage increase in demand. It means that the income elasticity of demand is greater than one. For example, HD TV’s would be a luxury good. When income rises, people spend a higher percentage of their income on the luxury good. YED calculations 1. In the above example of a luxury good, in...

    An inferior goodmeans an increase in income causes a fall in demand. It is a good with a negative income elasticity of demand (YED). An example of an inferior good is Tesco value bread. When your income rises you buy less Tesco value bread and more high quality, organic bread.

    • Shifts in Demand: A Car Example. Increased demand means that at every given price, the quantity demanded is higher, so that the demand curve shifts to the right from D0 to D1.
    • Demand Curve. The demand curve can be used to identify how much consumers would buy at any given price.
    • Demand Curve with Income Increase. With an increase in income, consumers will purchase larger quantities, pushing demand to the right.
    • Demand Curve Shifted Right. With an increase in income, consumers will purchase larger quantities, pushing demand to the right, and causing the demand curve to shift right.
  2. Oct 12, 2024 · A demand curve is a graphical representation of the price and quantity demanded (QD) by consumers. If the data were plotted, it would be an actual curve. Economists, however, use straight lines so as to make analysis easier. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (QD), ceteris paribus.

If the slope of curve is positive, the good is a normal good but if it is negative, the good is an inferior good. One of the determinants of demand is consumer income.
