Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.45 Globalization, Supply Chains, and Economic Interdependence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An automaker sells cars in the same countries where many of its components are made. A proposed tariff fight would raise component costs and reduce sales in those markets. Which conclusion is best supported?

AInterdependence guarantees that trade conflicts will never be proposed.

BA firm that imports components cannot also depend on foreign customers.

CTariffs affect only consumers and never production costs.

DMutual interdependence can make trade conflicts costly for firms on both the input and sales sides.

Solution & Explanation:The automaker relies on foreign partners both as suppliers and customers, so conflict can hurt through multiple channels.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the accompanying food supply-chain display. Fertilizer imports fall, raising farmers' costs and reducing next season's harvest. Which vulnerability is best supported?

AFertilizer availability cannot affect harvest size or cost.

BDomestic farms never rely on imported inputs.

CA disruption in an upstream input can affect food supply later, even if farms are domestic.

DOnly final food imports matter for food supply-chain risk.

Solution & Explanation:The display shows an indirect upstream dependency: imported fertilizer affects domestic production costs and later output.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A policy memo says relying on foreign advanced chips lowers costs through comparative advantage, but defense planners worry about losing access during a crisis. Which policy debate is best supported?

ADefense planners are discussing consumer fashion variety.

BComparative advantage and supply security always point to the same policy.

CForeign sourcing cannot lower costs under any circumstances.

DThe debate weighs efficiency from global specialization against strategic supply security.

Solution & Explanation:The memo contrasts lower costs from specialization with concerns about secure access in a crisis.
