Astatewide alliance of independent hospitals has formed in order to do group purchasing of medical supplies. group purchasing allows the hospital alliance to negotiate lower prices with suppliers because of the large quantity of materials ordered. this is an example of the advantage of resulting from an alliance. a. explicit collusion
b. economies of scale
c. opportunistic behavior
d. distribution opportunities

B) economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to a proportionate saving in costs by increasing ether production output or input purchases.

In this case, the hospitals are saving money because they are buying supplies in bulk. The same applies to most purchases, for example, your school's teams need new jerseys. If the school decides to buy them all together at once they will probably get a discount for large volumes. it would be much more expensive if each team member had to buy his/her own jersey separately.

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
