For years, they have primarily served manufacturers of domestic agricultural equipment, and over time, this market has been decreasing. A consultant recommended that, with a minor modification, Algorpal could expand into pneumatic filters for biomedical research technology, a rapidly expanding market. The consultant argued that this single change could reverse a ten-year decline in Algorpal\u2019s profits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which of the following would be the most useful to establish in evaluating the consultant\u2019s recommendation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Whether other markets, such as food processing and food service, would offer greater opportunities for potential profits.<\/p>\n<p>B. Whether the number of biomedical devices at any single research center is greater than the number of pieces of equipment requiring filters on a single farm.<\/p>\n<p>C. How the ambient indoor air quality in a biomedical research center compares to the typical outdoor air quality in an agricultural zone.<\/p>\n<p>D. Whether the competition in the biomedical technology sector would allow for profits similar to what those in the agricultural sector had been<\/p>\n<p>E. Whether countries with expanding agricultural sectors would use farm equipment similarly to the domestic equipment current served by Algorpal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/ragct-2015-day-23-algorpal-industries-produces-high-quality-pneumatic-203446.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- D -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\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&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;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 If is a non-zero number what is the value of ?
