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.
Answer:
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
Explanation:
<u>First, we need to calculate the future value of the first part of the investment. We will calculate the future value for the monthly deposit for five years and then the lump sum for another five years.</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
i= 0.04/12= 0.003333
n= 5*12= 60 months
FV= {322*[(1.003333^60) - 1]} / 0.003333
FV= $21,348.05
<u>For the lump sum:</u>
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
n= 12*5= 60
i= 0.05/12= 0.004167
FV= 21,348.05*(1.004167^60)
FV= $27,397.75
<u>Now, the future value of the second part of the investment:</u>
<u></u>
n= 60
i= 0.0041667
A= 440
FV= {440*[(1.004167^60) - 1]} / 0.004167
FV= $29,922.98
Total value of the investment= 27,397.75 + 29,922.98
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
