Answer:
Forecast and planning
Explanation:
An anticipatory model is a model under which market forecast determines the production of products by the manufacturer, and purchases by retailers also determined by forecasts and promotional plans. Since the forecasts are wrong most of the times, anticipatory model usually leads to differences in the actual production of the firms and what they initially planned to produce.  
Anticipatory Model is a risky model because anticipation of future events always determines the work to do by the firm.
On the contrary, the Responsive Business Model does not depend on forecasts, but ensure that what to be done are adequately planned and information among firms in the supply chain are properly exchanged. This makes the model not to be risky and ensure doing more than what has already been planned is avoided. Therefore, the aim of the responsive model which also known as Pull Model is to eliminate reliance on forecast.  
The major reason the Responsive Model has become popular in supply chain collaborations is that it allows for the customization of products on smaller orders by customers.  However, the Anticipatory Model does not give customers any choice or power but to buy or not buy.
 
        
             
        
        
        
If the original price of Dima’s skirt was $54, the amount that she have saved at the store was option(b)i.e, $1.80.
Let's just take the sales price of the skirt Dima purchased from the discount shop as the rate of the other retailer is not provided.
Original price: $54
Discount rate: 30%
$54 x 30% = $16.20 value of the discount
$54 - 16.20 = $37.80 discounted price.
Since Dima's friend told her she could have had a better deal at a different store, this means that the discount rate is higher than 30%. i.e, the discount is 33.33%
$54 x 33.33%  = $17.99 value of the discount
$54 - 17.99 = $36.00 discounted price.
Discount store: $37.80
Different store: $36.00
The different store sales price is cheaper by $1.80 
Therefore, she could have saved $1.80 at the store her friend suggested.

The competitiveness of a good usually depends on two key factors: its price, and its quality. While poor quality goods are less competitive from a quality perspective but poor quality goods are usually cheaper to produce resulting to a lower final price. So overall, the lower the cost and the higher the quality the more competitive a good is.
