Question

Linda visits her favorite clothing store and is disappointed to discover that the shirt she was hoping to purchase is out of stock.In an effort to keep Linda from purchasing a competitor's item instead, the sales associate offers to _______ the item for her, but this means Lisa will have to wait until the company can fill the order. a. price break b. cycle stock c. stockpile d. backorder

Answer 1

d. backorder

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the sales associate most likely offered to backorder the item for Linda. This is when a retailer places an order for a product that is no longer in stock for the time being, in order to comply with the customer, but will take a while for that order to come in and for the transaction to be completed.
