A. In bulkExplanation
Purchasing goods in bulk allows stores and supermarkets to get a lower price for their goods. This is because buying in large quantities often comes with discounts or wholesale prices from suppliers. By purchasing in bulk, stores can save money on the cost per unit and pass on those savings to customers. Additionally, buying in bulk helps to ensure that there is enough stock available to meet customer demand, reducing the risk of running out of popular items.Rate this question:

-
Expenses

Correct Answer
A. InterestExplanation
Savings in the bank yield interest. When individuals deposit their savings in a bank, the bank uses those funds to provide loans and other financial services. In return for depositing their money, the bank pays interest to the account holders. This interest is a percentage of the amount deposited and serves as a reward for keeping the money in the bank. Therefore, savings in the bank generate interest earnings for the account holders.Rate this question:
