Multiple Choice 0.1 12.1 15.7 44.3

Answer 1

15.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have the following information

Employment in Motor Vehicle manufacturing within city = 12643

Total employment in motor city = 560379

Total individual employment = 152750

Total employment = 106201232

We get the location quotient as

(12643/560379)/152750/106201232

0.02256/0.001438

= 15.69

This is approximately

15.7

Therefore the location quotient = 15.7
