Answer: their domestic consumers are demanding
Explanation:
In Porter's Diamond Strategy, he explains why some nations are more competitive than others. One of the factors mentioned was the DEMAND CONDITIONS.
He posited that home demand has a huge influence on how favourable domestic industries are.
How?
A larger market at home presents companies with challenges as well as more opportunities to grow and become better and more efficient.
Striving to satiate such a demand will enable companies to scale new heights and they will learn more about consumer behavior much quicker. They will then use this knowledge to apply and conquer new markets thanks to being forced to adapt early by their own domestic market.

Answer:
Materials quantity variance and labor efficiency variance.
Explanation:
Material quantity variance is defined as the difference that exists between the actual amount of a material that is used in production and the expected amount to be used. It measures the efficiency with which a raw material is converted into product.
MQV is calculated by multiplying standard price of material by difference between standard quantity and actual quantity.
Labour efficienct rate on the other hand measure efficiency of using labour.
It is calculated by multiplying standard labour rate with difference between standard labour amount and actual labour amount.
Answer:
59% - a)increase - b)decrease
Explanation:
First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.
Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).
Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).
With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.
Answer and Explanation:
Margin trades work this way because they allow them to extend the amount of money invested regardless of whether the security's price drops or rises. In a more simplified way, we can state that the margin trade allows that even if the price of a security goes up or down, the invested money presents a percentage of gain or loss much bigger than the original value. This is because this money was deposited as a loan guarantee, allowing interest to run on it, increasing it.
