Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macromedia Technologies Inc. is a producer because it buys raw materials and transforms them into a finished product (vinyl signboards) for sale to customers. The fact that it purchases raw materials from multiple vendors does not make it an intermediary, which typically resells goods bought from producers to other buyers. Government bodies and institutions are not applicable categories for this type of organization.
