Solution

Income elasticity of demand refers to how sensitive the quantity demanded of a good is to changes in a consumer’s income. It indicates the percentage change in quantity demanded resulting from a percentage change in income. This responsiveness is calculated as the ratio of the relative (or percentage) change in quantity demanded to the relative change in consumer income.

ey = `"Percentage change in quantity demanded"/"Percentage change in income"`
