PeakPods serves health-conscious consumers while cutting delivery times; the case evidence includes cash inflow of ?3,185, sales of 165 units, and a 32% change in costs or demand. Which option best applies Explain why businesses create plans, including setting up a new business, raising finance, setting objectives and organising business functions?

The correct option is: Use objectives, finance, functions to judge gross profit margin, local community impact, and the business objective in Purpose and sections of business planning.

This is the best-supported choice because Use objectives, finance, functions to judge gross profit margin, local community impact, and the business objective in Purpose and sections of business planning. The case evidence gives ?4,685, 165 units, and 32%, so the answer must explain the commercial effect rather than repeat a definition. The distractors are weaker because they confuse efficiency and productivity, miss the local community, or ignore the business objective.
