Answer:

False. Markets can sometimes fail to reach efficiencies when there are externalities, public goods, monopoly, or serious information asymmetries

Explanation:

Invisible hand (effective allocation of resources in a laissez faire economy) sometimes works because when market function effectively and send correct price as signal of values (to society) to producers.

However, when goods can't be traded on markets (public goods) or its values are not correctly reflected on markets (externalities, information asymmetries) or competition is not ensured (monopoly), markets cannot ensure effective allocation of resources.

Answer:

faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.

Explanation:

Exchange rate risk is defined as the risk that exists when a company engaged in transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency rather than the domestic currency.

So if a purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically has international competitors in its local market, and the exchange rate is favouring the competitors there will be a risk for them.

For example if international competitors can source raw materials cheaper because of the exchange rate of a foreign country, it will be a disadvantage to local firms that cannot reduce their prices.
