Demand | Price of Good Rise - Substitute Good


If the price of a good rises, what impact will this have on a cheaper substitute good?

















Your Answer:
Substitute goods are any good that can be used instead of another good to more or less take its place. Common sense and economic principles assert that if the price of any good rises, the demand for a cheaper substitute good also rises as people seek out alternatives that may be less costly.
