as far as i know, the second edition does not cover commutation functions.
notations have also been changed (like u(x+t)). i heard that some of the
materials in Chapter 16 (second edition), such as profit margin and book
profit, are not covered in the first edition. (are they required in 5A?)
try to read page xxi (introduction to second edition) of the second edition for
greater detail.
wish you luck.
