Refer to exhibit 3-6. if a decrease in income causes the demand for good x to shift from d1 to d2, then good x is
(a) a normal good.
(b) a neutral good.
(c) a complementary good.
(d) an inferior good.
(e) a substitute good.

(D) an inferior good.

Explanation:

The inferior good had a negative relationship between income and demand.

When the income is lower, the demand increases as people moves away from normal goods to inferior as they are cheaper. And it will decrease once the income level return to his previous level.

This causes even more troubles in recessions to normal company's as the demand decrease and also, it shift to other goods.

An inferior good

Explanation:

First of all, It is important to understand the behavior of the demand curve, if the demand for a good X causes the demand curve to shift from D1 to D2, this means there is an increase in demand.

If a good increases in demand when there is decrease in income, the good is an inferior good because this is a good that is demanded when buyers have to spend cautiously, this means inferior goods are the opposite of normal goods and buyers would normally not demand such items. Such goods could be inferior either in terms of quality, method of production, manufacturers, e.t.c.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
