Cevap
The logistics firm and commercial bank perform commercial services (auxiliaries to trade) that facilitate the distribution and financial settlement of industrial products.
Industry creates form utility through extraction and manufacturing, but commerce (through trade and its auxiliaries such as transportation and banking) provides place, time, and possession utility to ensure goods reach buyers. Therefore, logistics and commercial banking function as commercial services (auxiliaries to trade) connecting industrial output to market distribution.
