This good can either be a substitute good or complementary good. (ii) Comment on the cross-price elasticity of demand between platinum and gold.

Demand Varies by Market Segment Random fluctuations usually are caused by factors beyond management control. However analysis will sometimes reveal that a predictable demand cycle for one segment is concealed within a broader‚ seemingly random pattern. This fact illustrates the importance of breaking down demands on a “segment-by-segment” basis.
