Statement Breakdown: The statement tells you to buy the product if price and quality are important to you. It doesn't explicitly state that the product is good in quality or is reasonably priced. It only says that these are the criteria to use when deciding to purchase.
Conclusion I: The product must be good in quality.
Logic: The statement doesn't assert the product is good. It only suggests you should buy it if you value quality.
Validity: Conclusion I is invalid.
Conclusion II: The price of the product must be reasonable.
Logic: Similar to Conclusion I, the statement only suggests you should buy it if you value reasonable pricing. It doesn't assert the price is reasonable.
Validity: Conclusion II is invalid.
