Industrial Location

According to Weber, the most important factor in locating a factory is

• transportation cost
• agglomeration
• labor

Soda is a

• bulk gaining industry
• bulk reducing industry

Potato chips are a 

• bulk reducing industry
• bulk gaining industry

Automobiles, refrigerators, and bottling are all examples of:

• Cottage Industry
• Break of Bulk Points
• Bulk-gaining Industries
• Bulk-reducing Industries

An industry where the final product weighs more or is larger than the inputs

• Cottage Industries
• Mechanical Industries
• Bulk-gaining Industries
• Bulk-reducing Industries

An industry where the final product weighs less or is smaller than the inputs

• Cottage Industries
• Mechanical Industries
• Bulk-gaining Industries
• Bulk-reducing Industries

If a factory is making a product that is increasing in bulk, then the optimal location for that factory will be:

• Near the Inputs
• An equal distance from the inputs and the market
• Near the Market
• No optimal location for this product

The phenomenon of spatial clustering, or a concentration of firms in a relatively small area.

• capital intensive

• bulk-gaining

• free trade

• agglomeration

Shopping malls are an example of:

• urbanization.

• deglomeration.

• agglomeration.

• cumulative causation.

• gentrification.

The most important cost in Weber's Industrial Location Model is:

• labor costs.

• transportation costs.

• infrastructure costs.

• energy production costs.

• land plot costs.
