300
- Demand curve would shift to the right
- Because these two goods are consumed together, the decrease in the price of one will lead to increased demand for the other
Assuming lettuce and tomatoes are complements of one another, how and why would a decrease in the price of lettuce impact the demand curve of tomatoes?
400

500
- income
- tastes and preferences
- prices of related goods: complements/substitutes

Name a determinant of demand
500
ex. # of suppliers increases; demand increases because incomes increased. The effect of the increased incomes affected the market more than the new suppliers.
