Which might be a backward linkage with regard to the production of an automobile?

Question

the emissions the completed auto will output
how the auto will eventually be recycled
where the auto will be sold
the iron ore which was mined and made into the auto's engine

Answer 1

Think of it like this

 

Rubber plantations <------  Tire manufacturer  --------> Tire shop

 

        Backward linkage                              Forward linkage

 

 

Because of the factory making tires, a backward linkage is an increase in the output and demand for rubber from the plantations since it is required to make tires.

 

A forward linkage is a business that increases output and supply because of the end product created by the manufacturer.

 

Hopefully that will help you choose the right answer.
