Moreover, the existence of 1.9 million USD in underwear means that even if Victoria’s Secret products carry a higher price than competing brands , consumers may feel less price resistance . Spending money wisely is just as crucial as earning money. To understand the relationship between costs and assets , one must learn accounting . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
