  • Answer:

    Dear Ned, In a market driven economy, over the long haul the cost of the tea will rise as well. If the market is bringing $x for coffee, then it will be able to survive a price increase for tea and merchants seeing the additional profits, will almost certainly cash in on the opportunity. For example, 1.You sell coffee and tea for $150 per cup. 2. you raise the cost of the coffee to $2. 3. there is no significant change in the number of cups of each that you sell. 3. You're almost certain to raise the price of your tea to make the additional profits.
