M
D) the company needs to increase its spending
E) the company must increase its productivity

2) The physical products that a business offers are called .
A) goods
O

B) services
C) assets
D) devices
I


E) intangible
S


Answer: A
Explanation: By definition, physical products that a business offers are called goods. Services
S



are intangible products, for example, hair styling or bookkeeping. A physical product may be an
asset to the business or the purchaser, but it is a more general term that could include any
E




valuable product or aspect of the business. A device is a physical product, but not all physical
products are devices. For instance, pizza would be considered a physical product, but a pizza is
U




not a device.

,3) Emma bought a tablet and a smartphone. These products are called goods because .
A) they do a good job of satisfying a customer's needs
B) they are physical or tangible products
C) they are produced in an economical offshore factory
D) they can be sold either in a store or online
E) they are good at increasing a company's profit margin
Answer: B
Explanation: Goods are physical or tangible products offered by a business. They may or may




M
not do a good job of satisfying a customer's needs, although they must do so if a business is to be
successful. Goods are typically produced in a factory, but not in any particular location. It is true




E
that goods can be sold either in a store or online, or by other means, such as direct marketing.
However, other business offerings, such as services, can also be sold in a store or online.

4) Jose called an electrician to repair some appliances in his home. Which of the following terms
BEST describes the electrician's repairs?
A) a service
B) a good
N
N
C) a benefit
D) an appointment
E) a liability
O

Answer: A
Explanation: An electrical repair is an example of a nontangible business product called a
I


service. An electrical repair is not a good, which is a tangible physical product. Although the
S


repair might involve the installation of a physical product, or good, the primary offering of the
electrician is the service he or she provides by coming to a location, identifying the problem, and
S



if necessary, making a repair. Such a service may be a benefit to the customer, but any business
offering, physical or nontangible, could be a benefit. Although electricians typically provide
E




services by appointment, "appointment" does not define the type of product the electrician
provides.

good (the salad) as well as the services of preparing and serving the salad.

6) Profits allow a company to _ .




C
A) increase productivity
B) lower employee wages




O
C) reduce its span of operations
D) disregard concern about expenses
E) lower standards of living for the entire society
Answer: A
N
Explanation: Profits allow a company to reward employees, increase productivity, and expand
N
into new areas. To maintain productivity, a company would need to remain concerned about
controlling expenses, and maintain or increase employee wages. Profits would be likely to allow

for growth in its operations, not a reduction.

, 7) Nina's furniture store has had a successful year and made a significant profit. Which of the
following actions using Nina's store profits would BEST increase productivity?
A) Pay for utilities and inventory in advance.
B) Develop a website that would enable customers to shop and place orders online.
C) Hire more staff.
D) Create an emergency fund.
E) Service her community through social and educational means.
Answer: B




M
Explanation: A website with an online shopping function would increase productivity by
generating sales without requiring additional staff time. It might also provide more options for




E
customers, since the online store could carry more items than could be viewed in the store.
Hiring more staff could reduce productivity by increasing the labor costs associated with selling




D
items. Paying for expenses in advance or creating an emergency fund would have neither a
positive nor negative impact on productivity. While serving her community is a positive, it will
not have a direct impact on productivity.
