Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Export orders for trucks and buses totalling over 1.1m have given the Leyland Motor Corporation a good start to the second quarter of 1968. Largest single orders were £.230,000 from Iran, £175,000 from South Africa and £125,000 from Bolivia.

The Iranian order includes 92 Leyland Eland 14 ton haulage trucks. These vehicles--normally built only for the South African market—will be modified to left-hand drive and will be despatched later in the year. The remainder of Iran's order is for Super Hippo six-wheeled models. South Africa calls for Leyland Clydesdale and Reiver trucks while Bolivia requires a fleet of over 40 vehicles for use by firms engaged on construction work.

Included in the buses ordered are 20 Leyland Viking single-deck vehicles for Singapore. Trinidad, however, has placed an order for 100 Viking single-deck buses worth almost i+m which will ultimately replace the island's railway system. The buses will have bodies by MetropolitanCammell-Weymann Ltd., assembled on the island by Trinidad Agencies Ltd.
