Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barriers to entry are factors that make it difficult for new firms to enter a market and compete with existing firms. Economies of scale and absolute cost advantages give existing firms a pricing advantage, while high capital start-up costs and limited access to distribution channels can make it difficult for new firms to get off the ground. Therefore, all of these are examples of barriers to entry.
