PM Kaplan kit question ISO Contribution line
2y ago#1The iso-contribution line being flat and downward sloping means that when plotted on a graph, the line will have a shallow slope that decreases as you move from left to right.
It indicates that the contribution per unit for tablet computers is higher than that for televisions. Visually, the line will be close to horizontal and slanting downwards slightly.
