What does this imply about the elasticity of demand for Porsches? O The reason people buy Porsches is because they are so rare. The less they produce, the more they sell. Porsches have an infinite demand. Porsches are complimentary goods with other cars. So the higher the demand for other cars, the higher the demand for Porsches will be. O With no substitutes available, the demand for Porsches would likely be quite (or maybe even perfectly) inelastic.arrow_forwardTwo drivers – Tom and Jerry – each drive up to a gas station.
