I'll hold back from commenting directly on Aditi's answer, but I think that it is important to recognise exactly what "Cross-acceptance" actually is. I am no expert in this field but I feel that her answer drifted too far from this into the more general issue of introducing products to new markets.
I attach a few pages which I hope are helpful in clarifying- look at it and then the proposed answer and decide for yourself how much of what she wrote was strictly relevant and how she might have presented the same basic thoughts in a way that focussed more directly on cross-acceptance.
I have worded the first part of this in a way that it could perhaps be the introductory beginning of an answer to the overall exam question.
However the remainder DOES NOT attempt to answer the specific sub-questions; the idea is not to give a model answer but just help clarify CROSS ACCEPTANCE.
A good answer to the exam question would instead need to address the specifics one by one as indeed Aditi attempted to do.
