You are contemplating adding direct selling activities to your existing bricks-and-mortar retail business to increase sales. You are concerned, however, that the negative aspects of direct selling outweigh the positive.

Which of the following is a negative aspect of direct selling that you must mitigate in some way to be successful?
It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary
Vertical conflict
manufacturing product

The correct answer is letter "A": It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary.

Explanation:

Taking care of the activities of a company directly will always imply a greater sense of responsibility and planning compared to outsourcing the activities. Intermediaries take care of all that is necessary to accomplish the duty their clients assign and sell their services in a way that the firm saves some money and time.  

Therefore, while contemplating is adding direct selling to retail businesses to increase sales, managers must consider that it could be more expensive and time-consuming than hiring an agency to do so.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
