Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tying occurs when a company requires a buyer to purchase a second product (the tied product) along with the desired product (the tying product). The other three examples all involve tying because they require the purchase of a specific accessory or complementary good (cartridges, phone calls) along with the main product. However, automobiles and engines are not an example of tying because the engine is an integral part of the automobile and is not a separate product that must be purchased along with it.
