b) National incomes have gone from and average of $36,000 last year to $34,000 this year.  We see that the amount of widgets has changed from 102,500 last year to 105,000 this year.  What is the income elasticity of widgets?  What does this number mean? What type of good is a widget?

c) Use Arc Elasticity To Find The Price Elasticity Of Demand.  What does this number mean? Is it in the elastic or inelastic range? What would happen to total revenue with the price reduction?
