Question

Which of these is not a main advantage for a business joining a cooperative?

Lower costs for purchasing supplies
Pooling products for better selling prices
Sharing costs for needed services
Having a larger vote than smaller companies

Answer 1

Having a larger vote than smaller companies.

Cooperatives follow democratic control (usually one member, one vote), so members do not gain greater voting power just by joining; the main advantages are lower input costs, pooled products for better prices, and shared service costs.
