Answer 1

A counterpurchase occurs when a firm agrees to buy a certain amount of materials back from a country to which a sale is made.

Counterpurchases are typically ongoing in their buying agreement. These transactions are made frequently and this allows for a better relationship between the buyer and seller. One company purchases materials to make their product, whatever doesn't sell/get used but the purchasing company is given back to the country from where they made their purchase.
