Answer 1

Answer: In market economies, buyers of inputs know that sellers want to earn profits.

Explanation: In a command economy, the state decides about what goods are to be produced, how much they must be produced and at what price they must be distributed in the society. While, in a market economy decisions about investment and production are determined by the forces of demand and supply. A command economy focuses on social welfare and equal distribution. While a market economy is driven by the profit motive. Thus, it is easy for firms to buy inputs in a market economy than in a command economy.
