1. What are the differences between home and foreign trade?
Trade means buying and selling. In home trade wholesalers may buy goods from manufacturers and sell them to retailers who, in turn, sell goods to the public. In foreign trade goods which are exported are sold to other countries while goods which are imported are bought from other countries.
2. What aids to trade help it to take place?
The aids to trade help it to take place. Warehouses provide storage for goods. Insurance provides compensation if goods are not delivered or are damaged. Banking allows payments to be made by cheque and banks lend to firms who are short of money. Advertising makes the public aware of products available in shops. Transport moves goods to where they are needed. Communications allow firms to contact each other by, for example, letters and the telephone. The activities just described are only a few examples of trade and aids to trade.
3. Who provides personal services to the public?
People who are involved in direct services are not concerned with the provision of goods but instead provide personal services to the public. Examples of such workers are doctors, dentists, the police, teachers and entertainers.

Primary industry which is another name for extractive industry. This is the first stage in production.

6. What is the difference between a producer and a consumer?
All those involved in the provision of goods and services are called producers. The term «producer» is not only used for those who make goods.
