Q26 Single choice

For a consumer product such as a television, careful pricing is a very important aspect of marketing, since pricing an item even slightly too high or too low can seriously reduce profits. By contrast, voter approval of government projects that benefit the public does not vary with small differences in estimates of their projected cost.

The statements above, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion?

A
Most people are well informed about the prices of consumer products.
B
The demand for projects that benefit the public is more closely tied to standard measures of the condition of the national economy than is the demand for consumer products.
C
Anyone wishing to increase or decrease voter support for projects that benefit the public should not focus on small cost differences.
D
Many people place higher priority on funding projects that benefit the public than on buying consumer products for their households.
E
The purchase of consumer products such as televisions can be postponed more easily than can expenditures for projects that benefit the public.
