Answer 1

Answer:

D) selling agent.

Explanation:

Sine Fahad's company never obtains title for the goods that they sell, they are acting like a selling agent. They are very similar to a commission merchant except that Fahad's company is also responsible for the marketing functions of Celextron.

There are several types of sales agents and distributors, it all depends on certain details about how they work:

• a manufacturer's agent work directly for the manufacturing firm, in this case it would have been Celextron.
• a sales branch is a company owned by Celextron.
• a full service wholesaler obtains title of the goods.
