Question 5 • Economics

Maria purchases a premium brand of coffee at the grocery store for $8. Which would be considered a substitute good?

Answer
A
a bottle of coffee creamer
B
a coffee pot
C
a lower-priced brand of coffee
D
a pound of sugar

Explanation

A substitute good can be used in place of another good to meet the same need. A lower-priced brand of coffee can replace Maria’s premium coffee, so it is a substitute. Creamer and sugar are typically used with coffee, while a coffee pot is used to prepare it.
