Verified step by step guidance1
This question is conceptual and not directly related to Business Calculus. However, I can clarify the key difference between a service firm and a manufacturer.
A service firm provides intangible products, such as consulting, education, or financial services. These are non-physical outputs that cannot be touched or stored.
A manufacturer, on the other hand, produces tangible goods, such as cars, furniture, or electronics. These are physical products that can be touched, stored, and transported.
The other options provided in the question are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the primary difference between a service firm and a manufacturer.
The correct answer is: 'A service firm provides intangible products, while a manufacturer produces tangible goods.' This distinction is fundamental in understanding the nature of businesses in different industries.
