Answer:

store of value

Explanation:

Based on this information it can be said that seashells would be unfit to act as money because they could not act as a store of value. Money needs to be easily divisible and storable in order for it to be used as a medium of exchange. This also allows money to easily measure the value of a certain good or service. Therefore, since seashells cannot be stored since they are very fragile and cannot be divided then they would not be fit as money.

tarbucks entered a partnership with Keurig Green Mountain to sell K-Cup single-serving coffee packs. Because Starbucks _________
kherson [118]

Answer:

E)

Explanation:

It was prepared for this because Starbucks tracked, as part of its ongoing environmental scanning activities, the percentage of households with single-cup brewers. The data that they managed to gather through this study allowed them to quickly determine that there was a large percentage of households with single-cup brewers and therefore the customer base was there. Having a large customer base would drastically increase their chances of obtaining massive profits by simply providing the necessary product to those households, which they plan to do with this partnership.
