Answer to Question 1

The advantages of exporting are that the firm may realize substantial savings through economies of scale and the firm avoids the expenses of establishing, controlling, and coordinating manufacturing operations on foreign soil. The most obvious limitation of exporting is that foreign competitors may enjoy a cost advantage that far exceeds the economies of scale the company realizes. Bulk products may be expensive to transport from the home country to distant locations. And imports are a politically sensitive issue in many countries and tariffs may be imposed on imported goods.
