The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The sale of counterfeit products through its sites can be damaging to Alibaba because it directly affects its name and reputation.

Alibaba is the largest online site to buy products. We could say it is the competitor of Amazon. Alibaba sells millions of dollars yearly. So its customers would get a negative impression if they realized that some products sold in the Alibaba platform are counterfeited. Its image could be affected negatively and the company would have to spend a lot of money on marketing and public relations campaigns to overturn the bad perception.

If a company has a bad reputation of allowing the sale of counterfeit goods, buyers will not trust the site and will not buy from it.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Derived demand

Explanation:

Derived demand occurs when a good is requested not for benefits they directly provide, but for their contribution to another product.

For example capital, land, labour, and raw materials are demanded for their role in producing a final product.

So they can be seen as goods that have derived demand.

When they demand for the final product increases the good that has derived demand also increases, and vice versa.

Careco Company and Audaco Inc are identical in size and capital structure. However, the riskiness of their assets and cash flows

LenKa [72]

Answer:

E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.

Explanation:

Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
