Introduction
Discussion
From the Paper:
"When there is a price increase in substitutes, consumers naturally turn to the product thereby increasing demand for the product. When the price of the product (McDonald's meal) is increased its demand will remain inelastic. Producers gain from this change in elasticity (or inelasticity of demand) for its product as they will profit more from both demand as well as price increase.When the prices of complementary goods increases then producers are forced to increase the price of their products so that they could compensate for the cost of complementary goods. Regardless of the price prevalent in the market, the price of McDonald's meals will increase with in increase in the price of a salad, high priced breads or increase in prices of potatoes for French fries."Sample of Sources Used:
