Consider each of the five statements listed below. Read each statement and determine if it describes the income effect, the substitution effect, or neither.
- The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters.
- The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than other foods like ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef.
- Suppose the average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further.
- Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line.
- Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.
