Chivas · Answer 1

the answer is that the demand will be less price-elastic

Explanation:

this is mainly because if a good or a service is a necessity, no matter how the price change, the people will still have to consume it as there are no or a minimum number of substitutions. This limits the options the consumers have to change for another product. Thus, making the demand non elastic.
