the demand for inferior goods varies inversely with income. If your income rises then the demand for rice will decrease.
the demand for normal goods varies directly with income. If your income rises the demand for these goods will rise as well. Most goods are normal goods ie, cars, new homes, furniture, steaks, and motel rooms.
Economics, Stephen L Slavin 10e
Inferior goodA good for which an INCREASE(decrease) in consumer income will lead to a DECREASE(increase) in demand for that good.Normal GoodA good for which an INCREASE(decrease) in consumer income will lead to a INCREASE(decrease) in demand for that good.

Yes, an increase or decrease in income will cause a shift in the demand curve right or left depending on if the good is inferior, normal, or superior
A consumers income can affect their demand for most goods, for normal goods if the consumers income increases then there is a demand for more normal good, but a fall in income would cause a shift to the left for the demand curve, this shift is called a decrease in command. For inferior goods, an increase in income causes demand for these goods to fall, inferior goods are goods that you would buy in smaller quantities, or not at all, if your income were to rise and you could afford something better.
The goods whose demand decrease as Income increase are called inferior goods like say for a low income say you had chosen to consume bread, but as your income rose you shift from bread to pizzas. Thus demand for bread falling.

An example would be the car industry. When the income of consumers increases as a whole, the demand for cheap cars goes down and the demand for more expensive cars goes up. When that happens, cheap cars are considered inferior goods.
In the case of Inferior goods, the demand decreases as income increases.
An increase in income tends to shift the demand curve for a good or service:For a normal good, the curve will shift to the right, indicating an increase in the demand at the same price.For an inferior good, the curve will tend to shift to the left, indicating a decrease in demand at the same price.
The Giffen's paradox explains this theory very well .When a person's income rises his purchasing power obviously rises.This leads him to substitute his earlier consumption commodities (inferior goods in the theory) to something more superior. In this case when the income rises the demand for inferior goods falls. But this also proves that when income rises the demand for superior goods also rises
goods whose demand falls as consumer income increases
demand rice elastic
