Question 2

A typical consumer spends 30 of income on housing and housing is a necessity for consumers (the income elasticity for housing is 0 < H < 1 ). What are the maximum and minimum values for the income elasticity of all other goods, O?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The weighted income elasticities must sum to 1:
0.3H + .7O = 1
The maximum value H = 1 yields O = 1. The minimum value H = 0 yields O = 1.42.
