c) Advise Eric which supplier he should choose. Justify your decision with two reasons.
I would advise Eric to choose from SK Traders. Firstly, it’s because of its list price of $9 which is cheaper by $1 than the LP Supplies. Lower list price allows the business to have extra cash to pay for other expenses and Eric’s business gross profit, gross profit margin and mark-up on cost. Secondly, Eric can also have the additional incentives from SK Traders. SK Traders provides an additional incentive which is samples of new types of shoes provided monthly to their customers. This will allow Eric to change the types of shoes in his shop more often so people would not think that the pattern is very mundane and would attract more customers too. Hence, I would recommend Eric to choose SK Traders.
