In January 1988, however, Fabrico closed one of its clothing factories, citing reduced demand for its products as the major reason.<\/p>\n<p>Which one of the following, if true about 1987, contributes most to a resolution of the apparent discrepancy between the sales figures and the reason offered for closing a factory?<\/p>\n<p>(A) The total worldwide dollar value of clothing sales by manufacturers increased by 5 percent over sales in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>(B) Fabrico\u2019s employees dropped earlier demands for a 25 percent increase in company-paid benefits and a 15 percent increase in hourly wages.<\/p>\n<p>(C) Because of escalating costs for raw materials, prices charged by Fabrico for its products were on average 42 percent higher than they were in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>(D) Fabrico introduced several new styles of clothing that were generally praised by fashion critics and that sold very well.<\/p>\n<p>(E) Fabrico spent less on capital improvements than it did in 1986, when it added new plant capacity and new equipment. <\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/ragct-day-17-in-1987-fabrico-a-clothing-manufacturer-185781.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color:#fff;color:#fff\">- C -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Which of the following is a factor of 18!+1?
