Richard said that the high-speed assembly line was designed and made by their engineers and technicians. Then Thomas wondered how much the factory spent on new product development every year and how soon the order would be delivered. Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them. Richard also said that Thomas’s manager would be welcome to visit the factory.

The reason being that, first, form products do not generally sell at a high price so we have to keep production costs down. Secondly, taxes are fairly high at present and we have less support from the government, so our incomes are decreasing. That’s why I think the price is my greatest concern. On the other hand, if we can improve quality by buying better seeds and improving our handing methods, we can sell at a premium. That could increase our income.Part Ⅵ1.(1) c (2) a (3) c (4) b (5) c2.Agents need to be paid for their work.
