Increase

c. An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share

Explanation:

Here are the options to the last question

Why is the largest possible value of the Herfindahl index 10,000 ?

a. An index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each

b. An industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice Department

c. An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share

HHI index = 60² + 20² + 20² = 4400

If one of the firms leaves the industry, the market share would be distributed between the two firms and this would cause the HHI index to increase as firm's concentration would increase

If only one firm operates in the industry, its market share would be 100% and its HHI index would be 100² = 10,000. For an industry to exist there has to be at least one firm operating in the industry,

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = Price of the car – rebate

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A. The company should take Short position and

140 contract

B. The company should take Long position and 60 contract

Explanation:

Calculation for what position that the company should take

Using this formula

Company position=(Beta of the portfolio*Change in beta of the portfolio) *Portfolio of stocks /Index futures price* Each Contract index times

Let plug in the formula

Company position =(1.2-0.5)*$100 million/2,000*250

Company position=0.7*$100 million/500,000

Company position=$70,000,000/500,000

Company position=140 contract

Therefore the position that the company should take will be SHORT position with 140 contract

B. Calculation for the increase in beta of the portfolio from 1.2 to 1.5 and what position tthr company should take in the futures contract and how many contracts

Using this formula

Company position=Increase in beta of the portfolio *Portfolio of stocks /Index futures price* Each Contract index times

Let plug in the formula

Company position =(1.5-1.2)*$100 million/2,000*250

Company position=0.3*$100 million/500,000

Company position=$30,000,000/500,000

Company position=60 contract

Therefore the company should take Long position and 60 contract
