    Which three industry risk factors are used by IBISWorld's model to calculate the overall Risk Rating Score ? 

    • Structural Risk

    • Growth Risk

    • Supply Chain Risk

    • Sensitivity Risk

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Structural Risk
    A. Growth Risk
    A. Sensitivity Risk
    Explanation
    IBISWorld's model uses three industry risk factors to calculate the overall Risk Rating Score: Structural Risk, Growth Risk, and Sensitivity Risk. These factors are important in assessing the level of risk associated with an industry. Structural Risk refers to the potential for changes in the industry's structure, such as new entrants or technological advancements. Growth Risk evaluates the industry's growth potential and the likelihood of market saturation. Sensitivity Risk considers the industry's vulnerability to external factors like changes in consumer behavior or economic conditions. By considering these factors, IBISWorld provides a comprehensive assessment of an industry's overall risk.

  • 3. 

    In a broad sense what risk level do the majority of classified industries fall under?

    • Very Low to Low

    • Medium Low to Medium High

    • High to Very high

    Correct Answer
    A. Medium Low to Medium High
    Explanation
    The majority of classified industries fall under the risk level of Medium Low to Medium High. This implies that these industries have a moderate level of risk associated with them, neither too low nor too high. This suggests that while there are potential risks involved, they are manageable and not extreme.

    Rate this question:

    Which of the following are ways in which our Risk Rating Reports can be used by financial institutions? Check all that apply. 

    • By Banking and Finance departments as part of commercial lending assessment process

    • As stress testing for loan portfolios and early warning systems

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The Risk Rating Reports can be used by financial institutions in multiple ways. Firstly, the Banking and Finance departments can utilize these reports as part of their commercial lending assessment process. Secondly, Credit Officers and Relationship Managers can refer to these reports for loan assessments. Lastly, the reports can also be used for stress testing loan portfolios and as early warning systems. Therefore, all of the given options are correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which industry risk factor has the greater weighting when used to calculate the overall Risk Rating Score?

    • Structural Risk

    • Growth Risk

    • Sensitivity Risk

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensitivity Risk
    Explanation
    The sensitivity risk factor has a greater weighting when used to calculate the overall Risk Rating Score. This means that the impact of sensitivity risk on the overall risk rating is considered to be higher compared to the impact of structural risk or growth risk. Sensitivity risk refers to the vulnerability of a particular industry to external factors such as changes in interest rates, exchange rates, or commodity prices. This indicates that the industry's performance is highly dependent on these external factors, making it a significant consideration in determining the overall risk rating.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    A higher level of competition in an industry can lead to increased rivalry among firms, which can result in price wars, aggressive marketing tactics, and increased pressure to innovate. These factors can increase the structural risk score of the industry, as firms may face higher risks and uncertainties in maintaining their market position and profitability. Therefore, the statement that a higher level of competition increases the structural risk score of an industry is true.

While there may be some risks associated with rapid growth, such as increased competition or potential market saturation, it does not necessarily mean that the overall risk for operators in the industry is higher. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Which of the following are characteristics of an industry that are used to derive the Structural Risk Score? Mark all that apply.

    • Barriers to entry

    • International trade

    • Trade weighted index

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Barriers to entry
    A. Competition

Barriers to entry refer to the obstacles that make it difficult for new companies to enter the industry, such as high startup costs or government regulations. International trade involves the import and export of goods and services, which can impact the industry's competitiveness. Competition refers to the rivalry among existing companies in the industry, which can affect market share and profitability. These three factors are important in assessing the structural risk of an industry.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Goods and Materials Inputs
    A. Government and Legislative Change
    A. Demographic and Consumer Changes
    Explanation
    The Sensitivity Risk Score of an industry is typically determined by factors such as Goods and Materials Inputs, Government and Legislative Change, and Demographic and Consumer Changes. Goods and Materials Inputs can affect the industry's sensitivity to changes in the availability or cost of resources. Government and Legislative Change can impact the industry through regulations and policies that may increase or decrease sensitivity. Demographic and Consumer Changes can influence the industry's sensitivity by altering consumer preferences and demand.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which of the following would typically increase the Structural Risk Score of an industry? Check all that apply.

    • High barriers to entry

    • High level of industry competition

    • High industry volatility

    • Industry is in the growth stage of its life cycle

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. High level of industry competition
    A. High industry volatility
    Explanation
    High level of industry competition and high industry volatility would typically increase the Structural Risk Score of an industry. High level of industry competition indicates that there are many players in the market, which can lead to price wars and lower profit margins. This increases the risk for businesses operating in the industry. High industry volatility suggests that there are significant fluctuations in market conditions, such as demand, prices, and regulations. This uncertainty increases the risk for businesses as they may struggle to adapt to the changing environment.
