The price is always equal to a – bQ. Ignore the sign of b.Do watch my free lectures on this. Then it should be obvious that for a higher Q, then the price must always be lower.It is no good just learning rules – only 50% of the exam involves calculations. The rest of it is testing that you understand what is happening 🙂AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
