Karolina [17]

Answer: C. There has been a decline in the foreign exchange value of the nation’s currency.

Explanation:

The Demand curve of a country can be written as an equation which is

C+I+G+(X-M)

C is consumption, I is investment, G is government expenditure, X is exports, M is imports and X-M is net exports.

When ever consumption, investment, government expenditure or net exports increase the demand curve shifts to the right and whenever they decrease the demand curve shifts to the left.

In this case when the value of the currency foreign exchange declines, the country reduce its imports because they are now more expensive as your currency's value is declining and the exports will increase because they will now be cheaper to foreign buyers as their currency is now gotten stronger. This decrease in imports and increase in exports will increase net exports and an increase in net exports will shift the demand curve to the right

In the ________ process, raw materials, subcomponents, and accessories are procured based on forecasts, but actual manufacturing

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is Make-to-order.

Explanation:

Custom manufacturing is also known by its terms Make To Order (MTO) and Build To Order. This way of producing means that a product is made to order. So you do not work with a fixed inventory. Only when an order arrives, the necessary materials for production are requested from the suppliers. Also, those companies that do not actually produce, but make some small adjustments to the merchandise, have their own variant of MTO, called Assemble To Order (ATO). These production methods are opposed to manufacturing by stock (Make To Stock, MTS) and assembly by stock (Assemble To Stock, ATS).
