Cevap

Form utility and secondary production
Secondary production encompasses all economic activities that process or manufacture raw materials into semi-finished or finished goods. By converting raw cassava roots into packaged starch, the enterprise alters the physical composition of the material, which directly creates form utility for industrial consumers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the stage of production involved in processing raw cassava roots into packaged starch.
Secondary production, as raw materials from agriculture are converted into refined industrial goods through manufacturing processes.
Primary production involves raw extraction (farming cassava), secondary involves processing/manufacturing (converting cassava to starch), and tertiary involves providing commercial services.
2
Identify the type of utility created by altering the physical state of the cassava.
Form utility, because changing the appearance, structure, or composition of raw cassava makes it useful for industrial bakeries.
Form utility is generated whenever manufacturing or processing alters the physical structure of a commodity to increase its usefulness.
