Answer to Question 1

The power of buyers increases when they have leverage over suppliers and can demand deep discounts and special services. If a supplier has a small number of buyers, the supplier is at a disadvantage since losing even one could be devastating. Buyer power also rises when many suppliers offer similar, undifferentiated products and the buyer can deal with any of them to get about the same product, with negligible switching costs.

Answer to Question 2

B
