1. Identifiability (and measurability)
2. Accessibility
3. Responsiveness
1. Identifiability
- the target market must be identifiable to determine which of the
consumers belong to the segment. The target market must be well-
defined and measurable, particularly in terms of population, income, and
age bracket.
2. Accessibility
- this refers to the ease of reaching the identified market segment in terms
of geography and economy with appropriate market strategies.
3. Responsiveness
- the target market should be evaluated if they will respond (i.e. purchase)
the products and services created for them. There is little point in
identifying a market, creating a product, and developing marketing
strategies if the consumers themselves see little value in what is being
offered to them. Thus, the products and services must meed the
consumers' or organizations' needs.

Answer:if the debt ratio is lower,the loan request should be granted but if it is higher the loan request should not be granted by the bank.
Explanation:
Debt ratio is a financial ratio which shows the ability of a firm to pay their debt as they fall due.lenders are more concerned with the liquidity position of a firm in order to guarantee the solvency of the firm whenever a loan is granted to such a firm. The debt ratio is used to know the financial leverage of a firm and the financial risk involved in lending to such firm. When a firm is said to be highly leverage it means that such a firm will find it difficult to pay their debt as they fall due because the liabilities in their balance sheet is more than their assets. Debt ratio is calculated as
Total Liabilities/ Total Assets
The Debt ratio is calculated from the Liabilities and Asset figures obtained from their balance sheet. When it is calculated, lower ratio is more preferable than higher rato because it means that a firm will find it easy to settle their debt to their lenders as that debt fall due.but a higher ratio is an indication that such firm will not be able to meet their debt obligation to their lenders as they fall due. Therefore, when a firm has a higher debt ratio it is not advisable to grant a loan to such a firm by the bank. As regard the loan request of Creek Enterprises from Springfield bank, if the debt ratio of Creek Enterprises is lower, the loan should be granted but if it is higher the bank should not grant the loan.

Externalized costs are costs that the society pays that are generated by producers and the consumers of the product. The common example is the use of petrol. If I own a car and I don't like riding bicyle for smaller distances, this means the Carbon dioxie emission caused due to me have to be born by the society. This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.
UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.
