Answer:
Differentiation.
Explanation:
The concept of value for the customer corresponds to the expectation that the product will meet the needs, desires and features that he expects.
The customer's perception of the concept of value is affected in rational and irrational ways, such as brand image, product performance, high price, etc.
Therefore, when a company offers a product at a higher price, it is passing on to the consumer the higher production cost of an item, which has features that add greater value and functionality, such as differentiation, personalization or an unforgettable customer experience.
Differentiated products are those produced in a more heterogeneous way compared to standard products, therefore differentiated products have distinct characteristics that add greater value, such as new features, technology, design, durability, style, etc.

Explanation:
The official unemployment rate includes people who do not have a job but are able to take a job and are currently seeking one.
People with part time jobs are considered employed.
Littleville has 1,000 residents, 600 are employed = 400 do not work but how many are considered unemployed:
400 - 240 (under age 16) - 10 (institutionalized) - 100 (are not looking for work, including students and homemakers) = 50 unemployed
Littleville's unemployment rate = number of unemployed / total labor force = 50 / (600 + 50) = 50 / 650 = 7.69%
