Business leaders in the late nineteenth century utilized vertical integration by maintaining control of production and distribution of their products.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Vertical integration is a competitive strategy that gives the company full control over one or more stages of product production or distribution. Rockefeller tirelessly tried to take full control of business 'oil refinery'. While other business people were flooding the area in search of quick fortune, Rockefeller was thinking of destroying his rivals and creating a real monopoly in the refining industry.
Looking for even more control, Rockefeller saw the benefits of organizing the transportation to his products. Then, he began to develop his business through vertical integration, in which the company analyses all aspects of the product life cycle, from raw material extraction, through the production process, to the final delivery of the product.
Other industrialists quickly followed, including Gustavus Swift, who at the end of the 19th century used vertical integration to dominate the American meat packaging industry.

Answer:
15 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy: the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100. The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know: the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up. Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d! Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem. However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other. Here's the dog's equation:
d = rt
d+200 = 150t
And the squirrel's:
d = 100t
If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:
150d = 100d + 20,000 and
50d = 20,000
d = 400
But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took. So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.
