Question

At what point does buying in bulk stop being a wise spending choice?

(i) when the consumer buys more than is needed.
(ii) when the consumer has a lot of space to store bulk items.
(iii) when costs rise too quickly due to demand.
(iv) when bulk items are not on sale anymore.

Answer 1

In this case,the correct answer would be option (i) given in the answer choices or list.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Bulk purchase is a cost-effective or cost-saving buying or purchasing strategy which enables the consumers or buyers to buy and store considerably large quantities of any good or commodity for a long term and sustainable use in future at a considerably reasonable discounted price.
• However,if the concerned or required commodity or good is perishable quickly,then it is reasonably advisable not to store it for a long time or bulk purchases would not be very much effective.
• Another reason behind the ineffectiveness of bulk purchases is if the consumers or buyers don't need much of the required commodity or good or perhaps need it for a relatively shorter time period.In such circumstance,buying in bulk or large quantities would be a waste of money and the product as well as the consumer or the buyer would have to store excess or extra amount of the commodity/good which he or she will not need at all.
