Goods used together to give/provide maximum satisfaction.

Cross elasticity of demand
Measures the %age change in quantity demanded for a good after the change in
price of another.
The more intrinsically/naturally linked goods are, the higher will be the cross
elasticity
If price of one good increases, demand for both complementary goods will fall.
Example: shoes and socks’ car and petrol
3) Inferior goods

degree to which a change in income leads to a change in the quantity demanded of
the product
Example:Less normal bread bought, more organic health bread bought

better quality eg by designer clothes jewellery
