The use of intermediaries is the primary difference between the two.

Explanation:

Direct distribution channel is one in which the consumer is directly connected to the manufacturer and there is no use of a distribution system that is separate from them and there are no intermediaries.

The contact between the two is direct.

To the contrary in an indirect distribution channel there is no direct connection between the manufacturer and the person who is actually buying the product and the business is being mediated by the middlemen.

Over [174]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Return on investment is

= Operating Income ÷ Average invested Assets

here, average invested assets is

= (Invested assets, beginning + Invested assets, ending) ÷ 2

For Beverage Division

= $349 ÷ (($2,662 + $2,593) ÷ 2)

= $349 ÷ $2,628

= 13.28%

For Cheese Division

= $634 ÷ (($4,455 + $4,400) ÷ 2)

= $634 ÷ $4,428

= 14.32%

2. Profit margin = (Operating income ÷ sales) × 100

For Beverage Division

= ($349 ÷ $2,681) × 100

= 13.02%

For Cheese Division

= ($634 ÷ $3,925) × 100

= 16.15%

3. Investment turnover = Sales ÷ Average Operating Assets

For Beverage Division

= $2,681 ÷ (($2,662 + $2,593) ÷ 2)

= $2,681 ÷ $2,628

= 1.02 times

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $3,925 ÷ (($4,455 + $4,400) ÷ 2)

= $3,925 ÷ $4,428

= 0.89 times

When Congress enacted the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, they stated the FED's mandates:

promote maximum employment
promote stable price

The FED's main objective is to conduct monetary policy in order to stabilize the economy and promote economic growth.

By stabilizing the economy the FED will lower inflation rate, therefore stabilizing prices. When the FED promotes economic growth, the unemployment rate should decrease, hopefully reaching a full employment.
