Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Exporters first examine such criteria as population, income, demographic characteristics, government stability, and nature of the general business environment in individual countries. Statistics that span several years help determine which markets are growing and which are shrinking. The exporter can purchase research reports from professional market research firms that provide assessments of and key statistics for particular markets.

The nature of information necessary for country screening varies by product type or industry. For example, in marketing consumer electronics, the researcher would emphasize countries with large populations of people with adequate discretionary income, and ample energy production and consumption. For farming equipment, the researcher would consider countries with substantial agricultural land and farmers who enjoy relatively high incomes.
