The factor most likely to cause the company to produce a large number of computers is A. Chinese consumers believe that computer prices will rise in the future.
If Chinese consumers believe that prices will rise in future, they will try to buy more computers in the present in order to save on having to spend more money in future.
The company would therefore have to produce more computers in order to satisfy this demand.
The other options are wrong because:
- if few Chinese consumers are interested in foreign computers, the company would produce less to match the reduced demand.
- if shipping costs to China have increased, the company will produce less so as to avoid as much shipping costs as possible.
- if the Chinese government raises taxes on foreign goods, the company will produce and export less to China so as to incur less taxes.
In conclusion, if Chinese consumers believe that computer prices will go up in future, they would most probably buy more in the present which would make the company produce more.
