Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Jackie's Kennels specializes in providing services for dogs and cats, the best way to measure her relevant range of activity would be the number of pets she services. This will help her determine her capacity for boarding, grooming, and training animals. The number of staff or parking spaces available is important for operational purposes but is not the best measure of activity in the context of the business. The maximum amount of pet food she can buy each month is also not directly related to her range of activity, although it may be relevant for budgeting purposes.
