    Business size can be measured in a number of ways. Except one: 

    • By value of output and sales

    • By capital employed

    • By number of employees

    • By number of competitors

    Correct Answer
    A. By number of competitors
    Explanation
    Business size can be measured by the value of output and sales, by capital employed, and by the number of employees. However, the number of competitors does not directly measure the size of a business. The number of competitors may vary depending on the industry and market conditions, but it does not provide a clear indication of the size or scale of a business.

    Which one may not be interested in comparing the size of businesses? 

    • Governments

    • Workers

    • Banks

    • Mayors

    Correct Answer
    A. Mayors
    Explanation
    Mayors may not be interested in comparing the size of businesses because their primary focus is on governing and managing the affairs of a specific city or municipality. While they may interact with businesses and promote economic development, their main responsibilities lie in areas such as public safety, infrastructure, and community development. Comparing the size of businesses is typically more relevant to governments, workers, and banks, as they may use this information for various purposes such as policy-making, employment opportunities, and financial analysis.

    What is one of the reasons why businesses stay small? 

    • The number of workers

    • The type of industry the business operates in

    • The profit the business makes

    • The value of output and sales

    Correct Answer
    A. The type of industry the business operates in
    Explanation
    One of the reasons why businesses stay small is the type of industry they operate in. Different industries have varying levels of competition, market demand, and growth potential. Some industries may have high barriers to entry, making it difficult for new businesses to enter and expand. Additionally, certain industries may have limited market size or slow growth rates, making it challenging for businesses to scale up. Therefore, the type of industry can significantly impact the size and growth potential of a business.
