How do consumer cooperatives increase consumption capabilities and purchasing power of members? Consumer cooperatives offer loans to their members at better rates, which then allows the members greater access to financial resources to increase their consumption and purchasing power. Consumer cooperatives put their money together to purchase good in bulk which brings down the cost per unit, allowing them to buy more than they would on their own. Consumer cooperatives are capable of generating a profit which can then be distributed to their members, thus providing members with additional income to increase their consumption capabilities and purchasing power. The 501(c)(3) tax code allows consumer cooperatives to receive discounts on their purchases of goods.

Why might the “share capital” of a co-operative be classified as a liability, not equity? Because: a. Members are able to redeem their shares on demand b. Co-operatives as legal entities are covered by special legislation (Co-operative Companies Act 1996; and Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1908) c. Shareholders vote in annual general meetings on a one-member, one-vote basis, instead of a one-share, one-vote basis d. Shareholders receive rebates, not dividends
