Cevap

Commerce contributes to the economy by creating time and place utility, thereby bridging the gap between producers and final consumers.
Commerce encompasses trade and all auxiliaries to trade (transport, warehousing, insurance, banking, communication). In the scenario, transporting yams to Lagos creates place utility, and warehousing them until off-peak periods creates time utility. Together, these functions bridge the geographical and temporal gaps between producers and consumers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the role of warehousing, transport, and communication mentioned in the scenario.
Transport moves the yams from Benue State to Lagos (place utility), while warehousing preserves them for off-season sales (time utility).
Auxiliaries to trade solve spatial and temporal barriers between production and consumption points.
2
Identify the core function of commerce demonstrated in this distribution process.
Commerce facilitates the smooth flow of goods from primary producers to end consumers, ensuring production reaches final consumption.
Production is incomplete until goods reach the ultimate consumer.
