These services may include only storage and transportation, or only sales support. However, a key characteristic of limited-function wholesalers is that <strong>they take title to the goods<\/strong>, meaning they <strong>own the products<\/strong> while they are in their possession, even though they may not perform all other marketing functions such as credit, promotion, or market research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s break down the answer choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A. Usually cost more than single-line wholesalers:<\/strong><br>This is <strong>not correct<\/strong>. Cost isn&#8217;t determined by whether a wholesaler is limited-function or single-line. In fact, <strong>single-line wholesalers<\/strong> (those that carry a narrow range of products but a deep assortment within that range) can be either full-service or limited-function. Costs are more related to services provided than to the number of product lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Include manufacturers&#8217; agents:<\/strong><br><strong>Incorrect.<\/strong> Manufacturers\u2019 agents are <strong>independent agents<\/strong> who do <strong>not take title to the goods<\/strong> and work on commission. Therefore, they are <strong>not wholesalers<\/strong> but part of <strong>agent middlemen<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Own (take title to) the products they sell:<\/strong><br><strong>Correct.<\/strong> This is the defining feature of limited-function wholesalers. While they may not offer services like financing or marketing, they <strong>do take ownership<\/strong> of the goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Usually cost more than specialty wholesalers:<\/strong><br>Also <strong>incorrect<\/strong>. Cost comparisons like this are not universally true and vary based on specific business models, services provided, and efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E. All of these alternatives are correct:<\/strong><br><strong>Incorrect<\/strong>, because only <strong>C<\/strong> is correct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, limited-function wholesalers take title to the goods, just like full-service wholesalers, but they offer a <strong>narrower range of services<\/strong>. Their focus is often on efficiency and cost savings, serving clients who don\u2019t need or want the full array of wholesaling functions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limited-function wholesalers: A. usually cost more than single-line wholesalers.B. include manufacturers&#8217; agents.C. own (take title to) the products they sell.D. usually cost more than specialty wholesalers.E.
