Question
What will be the effect on demand for cars, if petrol becomes expensive?
Solution
If petrol becomes more expensive, demand for automobiles will decrease since automobiles and petrol are complementary items. As a result, when petrol prices rise, customers desire fewer cars. On the contrary, as the price of petrol declines, more vehicles are purchased.
