The demand for a product is influenced by the price of related products. The professor is discussing that the demand for a product is influenced by the price of related products. There are two kinds of related products: substitute goods and compliment goods. Substitute goods are products that are similar enough to be replaced by each other. For example, button and margarine can be substituted for each other, when the price of the button is increased and become less affordable, people would buy margarine instead, and then demand of the margarine will go up. Compliment goods are products that compliment or complete each other. For example, CD and CD player are compliment products, and they can’t be used without each other. When the price of CD goes up, there will be fewer people to buy it, and then the demand of CD player will decrease.

Substitute goods are products that are similar enough to replace each other. For example, butter and margarine can be substituted by each other. When the price of butter is increased and becomes less affordable, people would buy margarine instead, and then demand of margarine will go up. Compliment goods are products that (are compliment or ) are used in pair. For example, CD and CD player are compliment products, and they can’t be used without each other. When the price of CD goes up, there will be fewer people to buy it, and then the demand of CD player will decrease.

Hi, Xiufang! 经济课,不错哟。语法上应该没有什么大错。我稍微改了下一些用语,让文章读起来更自然。另外,我觉得button(纽扣)应该是butter(黄油)?这样它和人造黄油(Margarine)是替代品更靠谱些。Hope my correction helps!
