Answer 1

Derived demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Derived demand in economics can be defined as the demand for a factor of production such as land, capital, labour or goods and services that occurs as a result of the demand for another intermediate or finished product.

This simply means that demand by consumers for a product produced by the firm largely affects the company's products.

Hence, according to derived demand the quantity of bulbs Philips makes is related to how many flashlights Rayovac sells.
