Question

For ________ to be valued for products like vehicles and kitchen appliances, it should not be associated with an excessive price premium and the product must not be subject to rapid technological obsolescence. A) conformance quality B) performance quality C) reparability D) durability E) style

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D) durability.

Explanation:

Durability is usually a quality appreciated in most products, especially those that are highly priced. If a person plans to spend a lot of money to buy a good, he usually expects that good to last for many years. Suppose someone reviews the purchase of a mattress. Among other questions, you will surely study the durability of the product: how many years it should be kept in good condition if given normal use.

There are objects that, instead of durability, offer comfort or a low price. That is the case of disposable or disposable products. Plastic cutlery, to name a case, has a very reduced durability: in theory, they should be used once and discarded. Metal cutlery, on the other hand, lasts for many years. To compete against metal forks, knives, and spoons, therefore, plastic cutlery is cheaper and should not even be washed as it is used and discarded. Something similar occurs with disposable razors, with different benefits from devices with greater durability.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": durability.

Explanation:

Durability is the capacity goods have to last over a certain period using the product for the purpose it was manufactured for without the need for excessive maintenances. Durability is measured in terms of life use, life cycles and hours of use compared to the price at which the product was acquired. Usually, the cheaper a product, the shorter its durability and vice versa.
