  Normal good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In economics, normal goods are any goods for which demand increases when income increases.
In the diagram below, good Y is a normal good since the amount purchased increases from Y1 to Y2 as the budget constraint shifts from BC1 to the higher income BC2.
Good X is an inferior good since the amount bought decreases from X1 to X2 as income increases.

 Inferior good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In consumer theory, an inferior good is a good that decreases in demand when income rises, unlike the more common normal goods, for which the opposite is observed.
A special type of inferior good may exist known as the Giffen good, which would disobey the "law of demand".
This would have to be a good that is such a large proportion of a person or market's consumption that the income effect of a price increase would produce, effectively, more demand.

 Microeconomics and Behaviour | Chapter Summary
Normal goods are those the consumer buys more of when income increases and inferior goods are those she buys less of as income rises.
Goods for which the absolute value of elasticity exceeds 1 are said to be elastic; those for which it is less than 1, inelastic; and those for which it is equal to 1, unit elastic.
Goods whose income elasticity of demand exceeds zero are called normal goods; those for which it is less than zero are called inferior; those for which it exceeds 1 are called luxuries; and those for which it is less than 1 are called necessities.

For the like goods and for the alleged dumped goods, there are not separate classes of goods based on variances in their ultimate use, their material characteristics, or other factors.
Normal values are generally based on the average selling price of the goods in the country of export, where competitive market conditions exist, or on the full cost of the goods plus a reasonable amount for profits.
To determine normal values under the SIMA when the government of a country has a monopoly or a semi-monopoly on its export market, and when domestic prices are partially set by the government, the normal values are based on information provided by a replacement country operating under market conditions, if this information is available.

Where the value of the goods needs to be changed, with no change in the relative powers of labor and of capital to produce goods, the adjustment is effected by an influx or an efflux of labor and capital moving together.
The greater the amount of one agent that coöperates with the other, the smaller is the power of a unit of it to create goods; while the greater the amount of goods produced, the smaller is their value.

Normal increases and decreases in overhead costs are thus smoothed out over time and are not allowed to affect the pricing of the product.
When the finished goods are sold, cost of goods sold is recognized upon sale if the firm is using a perpetual inventory system (which keeps track of the cost of each sale), or at the end of the period if the firm uses a periodic inventory system.
The result is that the portion of goods transferred out represented by beginning inventory reflect (1) the costs from the previous period and (2) the costs from the current period required to complete these units.

Yes, if the goods are "normal," which is true of most of what we buy.
For normal goods (goods that a consumer will buy more of when the consumer has more income) the income and substitution effects both work in the same direction, meaning that when the price of a good falls both effects lead the consumer to buy more of that lower-priced good.
In the case of an inferior good the net result could be either a small increase or even a decrease in the amount of the good purchased.

Normal goods have a positive income elasticity of demand so as income rise more is demand at each price level.
Conversely in a recession or economic slowdown, these items of discretionary spending might be the first victims of decisions by consumers to rein in their spending and rebuild savings and household financial balance sheets.
Consumer perceptions of the value and desirability of a good or service will be influenced not just by their own experiences of consuming it (and the feedback from other purchasers) but also the appearance of new products onto the market.

The equilibrium condition therefore implies that the consumer purchases X up to the point at which the maximum of Y s/he willing to give up for an additional unit of X equals the amount that must be given up for that last unit of X at current prices.
Initially the consumer is in the equilibrium at the market basket corresponding to point E1 at which Qx units of good X are consumed per year.
The income consumption curve for goods of that kind is vertical curve.

 Articles - Superior good   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The income elasticity of a superior good is above one by definition, because it raises the expenditure share as income rises.
A superior good might be a luxury which isn't purchased at all below a certain level of income, or have a wide quality distribution, such as wine, and holidays (where the number produced may stay constant with rising wealth, but the level of spending goes up, to secure a better experience.)
The choice of the word "Superior" to define goods of this type suggests that they are the antonym of "Inferior goods", but this is misleading; An inferior good can never be a superior good, but many goods are neither.
