Figures in thousands (000):
Product Segment Capacity Next Round
Dug Core 1200
Dune Core 1450
Beetle Core 1040
Bat Core 1050
New Core 100
Adam Core 1200
Answer:
Chester Company
Competitive Intelligence Report:
Based on the increased 10% capacity, the industry can produce 6,644 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Product Segment Capacity Next Round Increased Capacity (1.1)
Dug Core 1,200 1,320
Dune Core 1,450 1,595
Beetle Core 1,040 1,144
Bat Core 1,050 1,155
New Core 100 110
Adam Core 1,200 1,320
Total 6,040 6,644
b) Each of the core segment products can be increased by the increased capacity factor of 1.10 (1 + i), where "i" is the rate of capacity increase. Alternatively, the total capacity in the current period can be increased by the increased capacity factor. Either way, produces the same result of an increased capacity of 6,644 units that the industry can produce. The result also shows that the options provided in the question are not correct. They must have been based on other assumptions.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": natural resources.
Explanation:
Factor endowment refers to the factors of production -<em>land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship</em>- a nation has available for manufacturing. Countries with more factors of production available tend to be richer than those that do not. Possessing more factor endowments available can also play a key role for countries to establish a comparative advantage compared to other nations.
Therefore, <em>American economist Michael E. Porter (born in 1947) is likely to consider natural resources a basic factor endowment while skilled labor force, for instance, would be considered as an advanced factor of production. </em>
Accomplishment is the correct answer
