Question 1 Report
A small café company is comparing trade suppliers for its weekly purchases of drinks, paper cups and cleaning goods. One supplier operates a cash-and-carry warehouse. Customers select products from shelves, pay before leaving and transport the goods to their own business.
(a) Identify which one of the following is a feature of this type of wholesaler. [1]
A Orders are delivered free to every retailer.
B Customers receive credit for 90 days.
C Customers collect and carry the goods themselves.
D Goods are sold only to individual consumers.
Answer Details
A cash-and-carry wholesaler requires business customers to select goods, pay, and take them away themselves. Therefore, the correct feature is customers collect and carry the goods themselves. [1]
Free delivery and long trade credit are not defining cash-and-carry features, and wholesalers sell to business customers rather than only individual consumers.
