Answer to Question 1

 Traditional Basic Input Costs This is the primary price of the product or materials as paid by the firm. It is the traditional price buyers seek through bidding, through negotiating, or in requests for quotes.

 Direct Transaction Costs These are the costs of detecting, transmitting the need for, and processing the material flow in order to acquire the goods. The use of blanket or systems contracting can also reduce transaction costs. These include direct ordering by users to suppliers, single consolidated billing, and user inspection and checking.

 Supplier Relational Costs These are the costs of creating and maintaining a relationship with a supplier. They include travel, supplier education, and the establishment of planning and operational links between purchasing and the supplier's order-entry operation, as well as other links, including those related to traffic, engineering, research, and product development in both firms.

 Landed Costs The inbound transportation flow includes two key cost elements: the actual transportation cost and the sales/FOB terms. There are four different transportation options with inbound movements  supplier-selected for-hire carrier or private carrier and buyer-selected for-hire carrier or private carrier.

 Quality Costs/Factors Quality pertains to the conformance of goods to a desired specification. It includes the cost of conformance, nonconformance, appraisal, and ultimate use costs.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
