When you buy a new car, the dealer presents you with a set of keys and you drive away into the sunset. What would you do if, after agreeing to a price for the car, the dealer told you that a set of keys would cost an additional $5? What does this tell you about the price elasticity of demand for car keys? Explain
To avoid going to another dealer and incurring additional search and bargaining costs, you would probably
buy the keys, because they are a linked good to the car purchase. This tells you that the demand for car keys
is relatively inelastic.
