Which best explains why wholesalers can offer lower prices to larger customers?

Wholesalers can offer lower prices to larger customers primarily due to economies of scale. When larger customers purchase in bulk, wholesalers can reduce their per-unit costs through streamlined operations, reduced handling, and lower shipping expenses. Additionally, the increased volume of sales allows wholesalers to negotiate better prices with suppliers, passing those savings on to their larger clients. This pricing strategy incentivizes bulk purchasing and fosters long-term business relationships.
