d. An adequate substitute

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Demand elasticity is defined as the degree to which quantity of a good changes with changes in price.

The law of demand states that with all things being equal an increase in price of a good results in an decrease in quantity demanded and vice versa.

This means relationship between quantity demanded and price is inverse.

In the given instance Jerry want to increase the demand for product X. To do this he reduces the price of the product.

People tend to buy more at cheaper price and demand drops as price increases (becomes more expensive)
