Logistics
Explanation:
Logistics is the process of managing the movement of merchandise or resources from their point of origin to the intended consumer. Logistics in an organization is the management of mobility and storage activities undertaken by the company.

Poor logistics will hurt business performance. If the company's products are not available for consumers to buy, low sales will be realized. An inefficient logistics system will make company products expensive. As a result, the company's goods becomes uncompetitive in the market.
Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.
Actual means the real selling price for the product paid by the customer whereas proposed selling price is the price which was suggested to be set for the product.
