Wolverine and Spartan root beer are the best root beers according to the Root Beer Review. There is

also the generic store brand root beer - People's Choice brand- that is also sold where Gertrude
shops. Suppose that there is a recession. Gertrude's employer cuts her hours and, as a result, her
weekly pay declines. What will this do to her demand for generic root beer? Draw a graph of the
generic root beer market and explain what happened and why.
