4. is the lowest price for a good or service always the best answers?
zaharov [31]
No as the quality of a good or service is sometimes influenced by the price and therefore cheaper items/services may be of lower quality. they could be faulty and break quickly and therefore you will end up wasting money in the long run as you will have to replace the item whereas it would have been cheaper to just invest in a better quality more expensive good or service in the first place. hope that helps!
