Question:

Suppose that the supply of specialty workstation laptops is represented by QS = 1,000 + P, where price is measured in dollars and quantity is measured in units.
a. Now suppose that the demand for the laptops is QD = 9,000 – P – 0.05I, where I is income. What are the current equilibrium price and quantity if income is $100,000?
b. Suppose that income falls to $80,000. What is the new equation for the demand?
c. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity after the income increase?
d. Is the laptop workstation a normal or an inferior good? Answer the question using a partial derivative.
