question 9 of 20: what does a stores buyer do?
a) keeps track of competitors prices
b) purchases merchandise to sell
c) tests the effectiveness of a stores sales force by pretending to be a customer

Explanation:

A store's buyer is responsible for procuring merchandise that the store will offer for sale. Keeping track of competitors' prices is more of a market - analysis or strategic - planning task (not the core role of a buyer). Testing the sales force's effectiveness by pretending to be a customer is the role of a mystery shopper.

Answer:

B. Purchases merchandise to sell
