3) Prices of Related Goods3) Prices of Related Goods

Prices of Related Goods

– When a fall in the price of one good reduces the demand for another good, the two goods are called substitutes.

– When a fall in the price of one good increases the demand for another good, the two goods are called complements.

Prices of Related Goods

– When a fall in the price of one good reduces the demand for another good, the two goods are called substitutes.

– When a fall in the price of one good increases the demand for another good, the two goods are called complements.

The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between the price of the good and the quantity demanded.

The demand curve is a graph of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded.
