Us change as result of increase in consumer


Suppose that during a given year: (1) the price of TV sets increases by 4 percent in Japan, (2) the dollar depreciates by 5 percent with respect to the yen (the Japanese Currency), (3) consumer incomes in the US increase by 3 percent, (4) the price elasticity of demand for imported TV sets in the US is -1.5, and (5) consumers' income elasticity of demand for TV sets in the US is 2.

(a) If the price of the imported TV set was $300 in the US at the beginning of the year, approximately how much would you expect the price of the same imported TV set to be in the US at the end of the year?

(b) By how much would the quantity demanded of imported TV sets in the US change as a result of the change in price only?

(c) By how much would the demand for imported TV sets in the US change as a result of the increase in consumer income alone?

(d) By how much would the demand for imported TV sets in the US change as a result of both the change in price and in income?
