In a market economy, a producer who wants to ensure sales and growth must answer all of the following questions except:

a) will consumers want to buy our products?

b) will our products perform well against competitors?

c) will consumers be legally required to buy our products?

d) will our products be affordable to a large enough share of the market?

The correct answer is C.

In a market economy, the main economic decisions are reached in the markets, where producers and consumers interact freely and, as a result, prices and amounts produced and supplied are determined. Hence, there is no interventionism performed by the goverment or any economic authorities.

Considering the case of the producer who wants to ensure sales in a market economy, he will not have to take care of whether it will be legally required to buy his products or not. This system simply does not exist in a market economy, as there is no economic authority governing the markets, hence  a legal requirement cannot be established over certain goods. On the contrary, the producer will have to care about the preferences of consumers (option A), the performance of the competition (option B) and the affordability and the budget constraints of the potential customers (option C).
