Suppose the Consumer's Income Elasticity for Good $x$ Is -010 When Monthly Income Is $1,000, and the Consumer's Income

question 27

True/False

Suppose the consumer's income elasticity for good $x$ is -0.10 when monthly income is $1,000, and the consumer's income elasticity for good $x$ is 0.10 when monthly income is $2,000. From this information we can infer that good $x$ is a normal good for low levels of income and an inferior good for high levels of income.
