The correct answer is D providing zero-liability for unauthorized purchases
Explanation:
The cross-price elasticity formula is:
CPE= Δ%q of good A/ Δ%p of good B
The CPE of penguin patties and raskels is:
CPE= -22%/-20%
CPE= 1.1
A positive CPE means that both good are substitutes; often, penguin patties take the place of raskels. An increase in price of penguin patties will affect positively the quantity demanded for raskels.
The CPE of penguin patties and kipples:
CPE= 7%/-20%
CPE=-0.35
A negative CPE means that both goods are complementary, which means that consumers will likely consume them together. An increase in price of penguin patties will affect negatively de quantity demanded for kipples.
Complementary goods should be advertise together because both could be positively benefited by advertising. If the demand for penguin patties increases, it is probable that the demand for patties increases too. If you advertise substitute goods, people will always prefer one, then the advertising will only be effective or for penguin patties or for raskels.
Answer:
The answer is: remain the same
Explanation:
The marginal utility of a good or service is how much better we feel when consuming an extra unit of that good or service. For example if we are very thirsty, the marginal utility of consuming a can of Coke is very large, but once our thirst is quenched, an extra can of Coke will not provide use with that much satisfaction as before.
If the price of a substitute good increases, the marginal utility of the good whose price didn't change, will remain the same.
Let's go back to the Coke example. An extra can of Coke will give me 5 more satisfaction units (I'm assuming I can measure satisfaction) and an extra slice of pizza will give me 7 more units of satisfaction. If the price of Coke increases from 50 cents to $1, its marginal utility will decrease. I will buy more pizza because the satisfaction I get from drinking Coke is now smaller.
