Question

one reason some manufacturing companies have moved production from overseas locations back to the united states is an increasing preference by U.S. consumers for products made in the united states. Assuming that managers at these companies used all available information, including the increased preference by U.S. consumers for domestically produced, when making the decision to move production back to the United States exemplifies which key economic idea

Answer 1

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.
