Answer to Question 1

The auto insurance industry can achieve economies of scope, for example, by also offering to insure homes, boats, and people's lives. There could be cost savings, compared to selling each kind of insurance by different specialized companies, because one sales force can sell all kinds of policies. Also, there would not have to be multiple buildings for the headquarters and branch offices, computer networks, or cars for the sales agents.
