Answer to Question 1

Income elasticity of demand for DVDs is +2 (+20 percent/ +10 percent = +2)

In general, if the income elasticity is positive, then the good in question is a normal good because income and demand move in the same direction. DVDs are normal goods because an increase in income results in an increase in demand.
