Answer: The parliament is likely to allocate £ 1,23,93,800.62

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Amount allocated by President Obama    $100,000,000

Amount England wants to contribute        20% of President Obama's allocation

Amount England wants to contribute in USD  =

                                              0.2 * 100,000,000 = USD 2,00,00,000  

Exchange Rate                                      $1. 61371/1 pound sterling

We can read the problem as if $1.61371 is equal to 1 pound sterling, how many pound sterlings are equal to $2,00,00,000?

Let number of pound sterlings be x

So, \frac{1.61371}{1}= \frac{100000000}{x}

x = \frac{100000000}{1.61731}

x = 1,23,93,800.62

one reason some manufacturing companies have moved production from overseas locations back to the united states is an increasing
Sloan [31]

Answer: C.  People are rational.

Explanation:

Economic theory assumes that people are rational when making economic decisions. This means that they will seek to make a decision that can satisfy them the most or give them the highest benefit.

This benefit does not always have to be monetary, it can also be emotional. The U.S. customers who prefer made in America products would therefore be emotionally satisfied by the decision of these manufacturing companies to move back to the U.S. and will patronize them more.

This decision to move back was therefore based on people being rational.
