B
They primarily provide accounting services to manufacturers.
C
They exclusively sell goods directly to final consumers.
D
They act only as agents and never own the goods.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of merchant wholesalers: Merchant wholesalers are intermediaries in the distribution channel who purchase goods from manufacturers and resell them to retailers, other wholesalers, or industrial users. They take ownership of the goods they sell.
Analyze the first option: 'They take ownership of the goods they sell.' This aligns with the definition of merchant wholesalers, as they buy and own the goods before reselling them.
Evaluate the second option: 'They primarily provide accounting services to manufacturers.' This is incorrect because merchant wholesalers are not primarily involved in providing accounting services; their main role is in the buying and selling of goods.
Evaluate the third option: 'They exclusively sell goods directly to final consumers.' This is incorrect because merchant wholesalers typically sell to retailers or other businesses, not directly to final consumers.
Evaluate the fourth option: 'They act only as agents and never own the goods.' This is incorrect because merchant wholesalers do take ownership of the goods they sell, distinguishing them from agents who act on behalf of others without owning the goods.
