Solution

The term "derived demand" refers to the demand for a good or service that results from the demand for a different, related good or service. It is a demand for some physical or intangible thing where a market exists for both related goods and services in question.

Looking at the options:

  1. The long lines standing outside a stadium to buy Super Bowl tickets: This is direct demand, not derived. People are directly interested in the Super Bowl tickets, not something that results from them.

  2. The orders for farm tractors by farmers to grow crops: This is an example of derived demand. The demand for tractors is derived from the demand for crops. If there was no demand for crops, there would be no demand for tractors.

  3. The orders by hungry customers at a fast food restaurant: This is direct demand. People are hungry and they want fast food to satisfy their hunger.

  4. The millions of online orders to download music to an iPod: This is also direct demand. People want to listen to music on their iPods, so they download music.

So, the best answer is "The orders for farm tractors by farmers to grow crops".
