Answer 2

Obtaining goods from different distributors and how the price varies from one to the other and maybe at different times of the year. If the supplier goes on strike will the price go up or you may not be able to get the components at any price. Using u.s. vs foreign suppliers and the price differences and quality differences. How dealerships are using financing to move cars which helps you move cars.
