Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the question
The question asks for two reasons why a producer or consumer would use an intermediary or collaborator.
Step 2: Evaluate options
To make an exchange less expensive: Intermediaries can achieve economies of scale, reducing costs for both producers and consumers.
To make an exchange easier: Intermediaries simplify transactions by handling logistics, marketing, and other complexities.
To contribute to a higher standard of living: While intermediaries contribute to economic efficiency which can lead to higher living standards, this isn't a direct reason for using one.
To foster homogeneity in demand: Intermediaries do not strive for this; instead, they try to match diverse supply with diverse demand.
