What effect will an increase in income have on normal goods?

The income effect describes how an increase in income can change the quantity of goods that consumers will demand. For so-called normal goods, as income rises so does the demand for them (and vice-versa). This is reflected in microeconomics via an upward shift in the downward-sloping demand curve.

Which of the following will occur if consumer incomes increase?

For most goods, called normal goods, if consumer incomes increase, demand will increase and vice versa. So if incomes increase, the demand curve for restaurant meals, and cars, and boats, will shift to the right. At the same prices people will buy more.

When incomes increase consumers will purchase more of what type of good?

A normal good is one whose demand increases when people's incomes start to increase, giving it a positive income elasticity of demand. Inferior goods are associated with a negative income elasticity, while normal goods are related to a positive income elasticity.
