Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": Offer products with complementary demand patterns​ (e.g., jet skis and​ snowmobiles).

Step-by-step explanation:

Managers have to make decisions about how to use the assets of their companies. A strategic plan they should put in place is to offer a good or service that complements an existing product. By doing so, firms avoid part of the challenges of introducing a whole new good for which people need to find a use. In addition, companies can increase their opportunities in such scenarios by making partnerships to establish relationships with the producers of complementary goods.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This strategy helps to smooth utilization of facility, equipment, and personnel because it enables the seller to offer the amount of goods or services wanted. It is related to strategic capacity management, that is strategic capacity planning, capacity utilization and best operating level.
