Answer to Problem 9AA

The term that best completes the given sentence is alternate brand.

Explanation of Solution

An economic good is a commodity which has a profit (usefulness) for society. Economic products do have a degree of scarcity, and therefore a cost of opportunity. Substitutes offer alternative options to the consumer. If the rate of single product increases, then the buyer’s demand for the substitute product is likely to increase. Substitute products therefore have a high cross elasticity in the market.
