Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Orientation.

Explanation:

The primary organization-specific factors are <em>orientation, size of the organization, </em>and<em> degree of centralization</em>. Orientation <em>refers to the function of a company that controls the decisions in regards to purchases</em>. The size of the organization implies decision making will be more centralized in larger firms while more decentralized in smaller firms. Finally, the degree of centralization states that even in highly autonomous corporations, some purchases might be subject to the approval of a manager who confirms the need for the assets being acquired.

<em>Because in Anchor Inc. the purchase decisions are made by engineers the orientation organization-specific factor is more relevant in that company</em>.

1. The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables.
Archy [21]

Answer:

These two options represent nominal values:

-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.

-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.

They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.

This option represents real value:

-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.

The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.

In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.
