Question

Quentin operates an ice cream franchise that has shops throughout the United States. CoolCream Co., the franchisor, supplies the ingredients and formula so that Quentin can create the ice cream in his store and sell it fresh to customers.

This relationship is known as a:

a) chain-style business operation.
b) joint development enterprise.
c) distributorship.
d) manufacturing or processing-plant arrangement.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrangement of manufacturing or processing-plant is the one which defines the relationship where the franchisor transmits or shifts to the franchisee for the essential ingredients or for the specifications in order to make the specific product. And then the franchisee will market at the retail or wholesale level as per the standards of the franchisor.

So, in this situation, the franchisor supplies the essential ingredients of the franchisee for his store and then the franchisee sold to customers the ice cream. Therefore, this relationship is regarded as manufacturing or processing-plant arrangement.
