Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seasonal datings are adjustments to credit terms to encourage purchases in off-peak times for products that have peak demand seasons. A Christmas novelty manufacturer (A), an agricultural implements manufacturer (B), and a swimsuit manufacturer (D) all have clear peak seasons (Christmas, planting/harvesting, and summer, respectively), so offering better credit terms off-season can stimulate sales. However, a wholesale frozen food supplier (C) does not have a strongly seasonal business, as frozen foods are generally in demand year-round, making seasonal datings less relevant or effective for generating additional sales.
