A Level Economics (9708)•9708/14/M/J/25

Explanation
Complements and Substitutes in Demand Steps:
- Identify that a fall in laptop prices increases quantity demanded for laptops due to the law of demand.
- Recognize carrying cases for laptops as complements, so their demand rises, pushing up price.
- Note laptops and desktop products are substitutes, so cheaper laptops decrease demand for desktop items.
- Conclude only laptop complements see price increases from higher demand.
Why A is correct:
- Carrying cases for laptops are complements; increased laptop purchases raise demand for cases, increasing their price per the complement goods definition in microeconomics.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Monitors for desktops are complements to a substitute good (desktops); lower desktop demand decreases monitor prices.
- C: Desktop carrying cases tie to falling desktop demand, lowering their price.
- D: Workstation tables for desktops face reduced demand as substitutes to laptops, decreasing price.
Final answer: A
