Answer:
Explanation:
Compared to essential goods, luxury items are highly elastic. Goods with many alternatives or competitors are elastic because, as the price of the good rises, consumers shift purchases to the substitute items. Incomes and elasticity are related—as consumer incomes increase, demand for products increases as well.
