What happens when a substitutes price increases?The substitute goods in economics are those categories of goods that can be used in place of each other. Thus, as the price of a substitute good rises then it causes the demand for the original good to rise wherein both the equilibrium price and quantity will rise.
What happens when the prices of complements or substitutes for a product change?Changes in the prices of related products (either substitutes or complements) can affect the demand curve for a particular product. The example of an ebook illustrates how the demand curve can shift to the left or right depending on whether the prices of related products go up or down.
What happens to demand if price of complement increases?Complementary goods exhibit a negative cross elasticity of demand: as the price of goods Y rises, the demand for good X falls.
What happens to price when the price of a complement decreases?A decrease in the price of complementary goods leads to a increase in the demand for given commodity and vice versa. For example if price of a complementary good (say petrol) decreases, then demand for given commodity (say car) will rise. Was this answer helpful?
