PMPM question ISO Contribution line Gradient
Let's say you go down the line fro left to right as you look at the line. This indicates that tablet production must be cut to increase the amount of production of televisions in order to maintain the same level of overall contribution from selling both types of good. This indicates a higher level of contribution from tablets. Hope this helps.
