Suppose that two goods are substitutes. If the price of one of the goods rises, what happens to the demand for the other good? Explain why this is the case. If two goods are complementary and the price of one of the goods falls, what happens to the demand for the other good? Explain why. Provide examples to justify your response.

For normal goodsA) the substitution effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded.B) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both increase the quantity of the gooddemanded.C) the substitution and income effects of a price decrease will both decrease the quantity of the gooddemanded.D) the substitution effect of a price decrease will increase the quantity of the good demanded while theincome effect of a price decrease will decrease the quantity of the good demanded.
If two goods are substitutes, then O an increase in the price of one causes the demand for the other to fall. O there is an inverse relationship between changes in the price of one good and changes in the demand for the other. O if the price of one good falls, the demand for the other good falls also. O changes in the quantity demanded of one good will not affect the demand for the other.
If two goods are substitutes, a decline in the price of one will cause an increase in the demand for the other. A.True B.False
