Question:

'If a person sells his/ her domestic radio set even at a profit, it will not be considered a business activity.'

Which feature of business is highlighted in the above example?

Options:

Production or procurement of goods and services

Dealings in goods and services on a regular basis

Sale or exchange of goods and services

Uncertainty of return

Correct Answer:

Dealings in goods and services on a regular basis

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Dealings in goods and services on a regular basis.

Business involves dealings in goods or services on a regular basis. One single transaction of sale or purchase, therefore, does not constitute business. Thus, for example, if a person sells his/ her domestic radio set even at a profit, it will not be considered a business activity. But if he/she sells radio sets regularly either through a shop or from his/her residence, it will be regarded as a business activity.
