Ronald Coase's theory of the firm explains why companies sometimes perform activities internally rather than buying them on the open market.

According to this theory, firms vertically integrate primarily in order to do which of the following?

  1. Guarantee lower production wages than any competing firm can offer its workers
  2. Concentrate exclusively on design activities while outsourcing the rest of production
  3. Lower the costs of negotiating and enforcing contracts with outside suppliers
  4. Avoid labor and safety regulations that apply to independent market contractors
  5. Increase the number of outside vendors bidding for each production contract
