What is the difference between direct and indirect competition?

Business
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Direct competitors offer similar producst, Indirect competitors offer substitutes

Explanation:

Direct competition is when a business and its rivals provides similar goods or services and target the same clients. Since direct competitors offer the same products and services, they compete on other aspects such as price, quality, and service. Examples, two bakeries that produce bread and pastries are direct competitors.  Gas stations adjacent to each other are direct competitors as they both sell the same products. The same can be said of two companies providing internet services in the same town.

Indirect competition involves competing for the same customers in the same market but with slightly different products.  The goods and services offered by indirect competitors are similar or substitutes. Indirect competitors offer solutions to customers with similar needs. A fast-food shop and a restaurant are indirect competition. A customer who needs to eat may choose between having a snack or a meal from only one of two.   A bus company and taxi providers are indirect competitors.

9. How is planning made any why is it important ? Explain .<br><br>​
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Planning is made through a psychological process of rendered thoughts and ideas. Planning is important because for starters, it is a good way of gathering things in one’s mind and having mental organization. It is better to have things planned out than procrastinated because then, stress levels rise, efficiency is slower, and the accuracy of things that go on significantly depletes. Without planning, most of us would not survive because we would be so caught up in what is happening in the moment and how that affects us that we would not be able to process an idea or, as we’re referring to here, a plan. If you need any help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Pablo Company has budgeted production for next year as follows:QuarterFirst Second Third FourthProduction in units 48,000 88,000
Margaret [11]

Answer:

271,500 pounds

Explanation:

Given:

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD     FOURTH

Production in unit                  48000     88000        98000      78000

Raw material per unit               3               3                 3                 3

=================================================================

Thus,

Need for material  = Production in unit × Raw material per unit

=================================================================

Quarter                                         FIRST      SECOND     THIRD     FOURTH

Need for material in production  144,000   264,000     294,000     234,000

Desired ending inventory = 25% of next quarter's production needs for material

==================================================================

ADD:

Desired ending inventory             66000       73500      58500  

==================================================================

Total need of material = Need for material in production + Desired ending inventory

==================================================================

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD      FOURTH

Total need of material =       210,000    337,500     352,500  

Beginning inventory             38000  66000       73500  

==================================================================

Total purchase = Total need of material - Beginning inventory

==================================================================

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD      FOURTH

Total purchase =                   172,000     271,500      279,000

Hence,

The answer is  271,500 pounds
