2. The impact that will be felt if the rupiah exchange rate continues to weaken against the USD is as
follows:
1)Inflation Could Soar
If the rupiah exchange rate continues to weaken, it will trigger inflation. Domestic prices will
increase. Especially for goods or products that are processed from imported raw materials. Why?
Because producers have to spend even more to buy raw materials from abroad, aka imports.

3. Market failure factors Amiruddin Idris in his book Public Economy (2018), says there are several
market failure factors, namely:
1) The existence of public goods
Public goods provide collective benefits to members of society. Thus, in most cases people cannot
be prevented from participating in receiving the benefits. Usually, private companies do not feel
that they benefit by producing public goods. Thus, the need for public goods is another source of
inefficiency.
2) Natural monopoly
There are several types of goods that are only produced by one manufacturer. Even if the
government has abolished the monopoly of one industry, competition between producers will
continue to lead to monopolies. Firms that dominate the market, if they change their output, the
quantity supplied in the market will also change. This power allows them to set a price higher than
the equilibrium price.
3) There is an information failure
Market information is needed to balance supply and demand. If one of the parties (government or
market participants) provides inaccurate information, then the profits will not be maximized. In
addition, market information is also needed by the public to know the current price of a product. If
the information provided is inaccurate, the buyer must pay more. As for producers, the failure of
information makes them sell goods at a price lower than the market price.

4) Externalities
Externalities are costs or benefits that are inflicted or given to an individual or group that is outside
a transaction. If such social costs or benefits are ignored, the decisions of households and firms are
likely to be wrong or inefficient.
Some examples of market failures that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic include:
First, from the health sector, where the government is still unable to meet the need for Personal
Protective Equipment and Masks for medical personnel.
Second, from the transportation sector, where transportation is a public good, its operating hours
must be limited, so that it does not provide benefits to the wider community.
Third, from the trade sector, where inflation occurred for some imported materials, especially
basic food items that experienced inflation, for example, sugar, which experienced quite drastic
inflation to reach Rp 18,011/kg from the original price of Rp 13,000/kg.
4. Yes, outsourcing is very beneficial for companies because some of the advantages are as follows:
Companies can focus on their core business while still enjoying the positive values of
information systems and technology
IT outsourcing provides client organizations with access to technological advancements and
personnel experience.
The time used becomes shorter for decisions in the organization
Can meet the company's need for reliable IT personnel
Variable costs can be converted into fixed costs and make variable costs more predictable and
companies can determine the level of quality they want to achieve.
Access to intellectual rights and extensive experience and knowledge because the Company
does not have knowledge of this technology system and the outsourcer has it.
The services provided by the outsourcer are of higher quality than being done internally,
because the outsourcer is a specialist and expert in that field. vendors can provide solutions
using their personnel, infrastructure, integration services, and support services. Experienced
vendors, especially the type of service, test the system a lot and potential problems so that they
can be anticipated better.
Companies do not feel the need and do not want to transfer technology and transfer knowledge
owned by outsourcers.
Increase flexibility to make or not to invest.
Minimize the risk of failure of expensive investments
A catalyst in making a big change that may not be obtained if done by the company's own
internal.
Minimizing risk by sharing risk with third parties.
The use of Information System resources has not been optimal. If this happens, the company
only uses optimal system resources at certain times, so that information system resources are
not utilized at other times.
