The generalized demand and supply functions for good X are

Qd = 638 – 8P + 0.005M – 4PY; Qs = 300 + 3P
Where
QD = quantity demanded of good X
P = price of good X
M = consumer income
PY = price of good Y
QS = quantity supplied of good X
P = price of good X

a. Are good X and good Y substitutes or complements? How do you know?


b. Is good X a normal good or an inferior good? How do you know?


c. What is the demand function when M = $15,000, PY = $20?


d. Solve for the equilibrium price (Po) and the equilibrium quantity (Qo).


e. Suppose that, on average, consumer income rises to $20,000. Solve for the new equilibrium price (P1) and the new equilibrium quantity (Q1).
