Which of the following is not a convenience product?

Newspaper
Gum
Snicker's Bar
Bicycle

Correct Answer

A. Bicycle

Explanation

A convenience product is typically a low-cost item that is purchased frequently and with minimal effort. In this context, a bicycle does not fit the criteria of a convenience product. Unlike newspapers, gum, and Snicker's bars, bicycles are not typically purchased frequently and they require more effort and consideration before making a purchase. Bicycles are considered more of a durable good, as they are typically more expensive and have a longer lifespan compared to convenience products.

Which of the following types of products are designed for the end user in the product cycle?

Industrial Products

Correct Answer

A. Consumer Products

Consumer products are designed specifically for the end user in the product cycle. These products are intended for personal use and consumption by individuals. They include items such as clothing, electronics, household goods, and personal care products. Unlike industrial products that are used in the production of other goods, consumer products are directly purchased and used by the final consumer. Industrial products, on the other hand, are typically used by businesses and organizations in their production processes. Industrial materials and capital products are also not designed for end users, as they are used for manufacturing and investment purposes respectively.
