Developed countries want developing countries to liberalise their trade and investment because then the MNCs belonging to the developed countries can set up factories in less-expensive developing nations, and thereby increase profits, with lower manufacturing costs and the same sale price. In my opinion, the developing countries should demand, in return, for some manner of protection of domestic producers against competition from imports. Also, charges should be levied on MNCs looking to set base in developing nations.

Globalisation,by connecting countries,shall result in no change in competition among producers.

Flexibility in labour laws will help companies in being competitive and progressive. By easing up on labour laws, company heads can negotiate wages and terminate employment, depending on market conditions. This will lead to an increase in the company's competitiveness.

The correct answer is the Tertiary sector.

• The tertiary sector doesn't produce any goods. 
• Tertiary sector:
  • The tertiary sector is known as the service sector.
  • It provides useful services for the primary and secondary sectors.
  • It is a well-organized sector and uses modern-day logistics techniques to perform its functions.
  • Banking, insurance trade, and communications, etc comes under this sector.

​​

• Primary sector:
  • It is known as the agricultural and allied sectors.
  • This sector supplies raw materials for goods and services.
  • It is an unorganized sector and uses traditional techniques.
  • This sector uses natural resources like forestry and fishing, mining, and oil and gas.
• Secondary sector: 
  • It is known as the manufacturing sector.
  • This sector converts one good into another by creating more utility from it.
  • It is an organized sector and uses better methods of production.
  • It includes large firms, multinational corporations, manufacturing units, and small-scale units.

• A market is a place where two parties can gather to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. The parties involved are usually buyers and sellers. The market may be physical like a retail outlet, where people meet face-to-face, or virtual like an online market, where there is no direct physical contact between buyers and sellers.

• The term ‘Market’ is derived from the Latin word ‘maratus’. This means merchandise, wares, traffic, trade or place of business. This term has been defined by many in many ways. But its central theme is that it is an activity which centres around two important operations viz. buying and selling. Simply, it means an ‘Exchange Activity’.

• Philip Kotler, a well-known author in the area of marketing, defines marketing as “A market is an area for potential exchanges.” 

Conditions for market formation include the existence of:

• Buyers who expect a pay-off in terms of the satisfaction of a want or a need – referred to as utility.
• Purchasing power, which enables buyers to convert their wants or needs into ‘effective demand’.
• Sellers who expect a pay-off, firstly in terms of the revenue they need to cover their production costs, and secondly to generate a profit, which is excess revenue over costs.
• Means of ‘communication’ between buyers and sellers so that preferences can be indicated and goods and services offered for sale. In early market forms, it was essential that buyers and sellers met, or at least that their representatives met – however, new technologies have meant that buyers and sellers no longer need to meet in the same physical space.
• Knowledge is balanced between buyers and sellers so that one party cannot persistently exploit the other party by withholding relevant information. Markets can break down when information is not available to all parties.
• A medium of exchange to facilitate a market transaction – namely, money or credit.
• A legal system that enables both buyers and sellers to be protected through civil law, such as contracts, and through criminal law, such as laws against theft.
• Property rights so that individual sellers have the right to sell, and buyers have to right to buy and to own what they have bought.
• In addition, markets require a financial system to enable individuals and firms to borrow if they need to and to save when they have surplus funds.

The total quantity of heat which is required to be pumped out from the air conditioned space to be maintained at desired temperature level by the refrigerating equipment is known as cooling load. The amount of cooling load determines the capacity of the refrigeration plant to be installed.

The cooling load comprises of two components, viz. sensible heat gain and latent heat gain.

FACTORS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SENSIBLE HEAT GAIN:

A gain of sensible heat is said to occur when there is a direct addition of heat to the enclosed space by any one or all of the modes of heat transfer i.e., conduction, convection and radiation. 

Sensible heat gain includes the following:

1. Heat transmitted by conduction through structures such as walls, floors and ceilings, due to temperature differential between their two sides. 

2. Heat transferred into enclosed space by solar radiation through window panes, doors and ventilators. 

3. Heat brought in by leaking (infiltrating) outside air entering the conditioned space through door openings, or cracks around windows, doors etc. 

4. Heat liberated by occupants. 

5. Heat given off by the products brought in at higher temperature than the conditioned space temperature. 

6. Heat given off by lights, fans, computers, motors, cooking and other appliances, installed in the conditioned space.

FACTORS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LATENT HEAT GAIN:

A gain of latent heat is said to occur when there is an addition of water vapour to the air of the conditioned space. 

Latent heat gain includes the following:

1. Moisture entering the conditioned space through permeable walls where vapour pressure is higher. 

2. Heat gain due to condensation of moisture from occupants. 

3. Heat gain due to condensation of moisture from food or other products placed in the conditioned space. 

4. Heat gain due to condensation of moisture from other internal sources such as wet surfaces, appliances, apparatus etc.

FACTORS WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMBINATION OF SENSIBLE HEAT AND LATENT HEAT GAIN:

Such heat gains are caused due to the introduction of outside air for ventilation purposes. 

These gains are: 

1. Sensible heat gain due to the temperature difference between fresh air and the air in conditioned space and 

2. Latent heat gain due to difference of humidity.

A refrigerant is said to an ideal refrigerant if it has all of the following properties:

1. Low boiling point. 

2. Low freezing point. 

3. High critical temperature. 

4. High latent heat of vaporization. 

5. Low specific volume of vapour. 

6. Low specific heat of liquid. 

7. High thermal conductivity. 

8. Low viscosity. 

9. High dielectric strength. 

10. Non-corrosive to metal. 

11. Non-flammable and non-explosive. 

12. Non-toxic. 

13. Low cost and easily available. 

14. Chemically inert. 

15. Easy to liquefy at moderate pressure and temperature. 

16. Easy to locating its leaks by odour or suitable indicator. 

17. Mixes well with oils. 

18. Environment friendly.
