GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -An inferior good is an economic term that describes a good whose demand drops when people’s incomes rise. These goods fall out of favor as incomes and the economy improve as consumers begin buying more costly substitutes instead.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inferior goods are a type of good whose demand decreases with an increase in the consumer’s income or expansion of the economy (which generally will raise the income of the population). The consumption of inferior goods is generally associated with people in the lower social-economic classes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inferior goods are the goods whose demand falls when consumer’s real income rises and whose demand rises when consumer’s real income falls. Hence, when the price of the inferior goods falls, the quantity demanded for them decreases.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the price of an inferior good falls, two things happen: Consumers will substitute more of the inferior good for other goods because its price has fallen relative to those goods. The quantity demanded increases as a result of the substitution effect. The lower price effectively makes consumers richer.

Detailed explanation-5: -In economics, an inferior good is a good whose demand decreases when consumer income rises (or demand increases when consumer income decreases), unlike normal goods, for which the opposite is observed. Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises.
