The required rate of return is $3.42%

<h3>What is Perpetuity?</h3>

A constant cash flow with indefinite period of time is called perpetuity. In this question a perpetual payment of dividend is being made. so the price of the share is calculated by the formula of perpetuity.

<u>Given:</u>

Present value of perpetuity =  $92 per share

Cash flows = $3.15 every year

<u>Find:</u>

Rate of return can be calculated from the perpetuity formula

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flows / Required rate of return

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flows / Required rate of return

                                        $92 = $3.15 / Required rate of return

Required rate of return = $3.15 / $92

                                       = 0.0342

                                       = $ 3.42%

Therefore the Required return for Oberholser, Inc will be 3.42%.

OLga [1]

future value =  $34,000

time t = 20 year

rate r = 8% = 0.08

here are seven firms in the automobile industry. The market shares of the firms are 34​ percent, 21​ percent, 17​ percent, 9​ pe
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer is  "Option 4".

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index formula:

HHI=s_{12} + s_{22}  + s_{32} + s_{42} +........ + s_{n2}

here sn is the firm n's share of the market proportion represented the society in general number instead of a decimal

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman:

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 62 + 52\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 25\\\\= 2092

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman(Result of the merger, firms with profit margins of 6% and 5% provided market shares of respectively).

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 112\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 121\\\\= 2188

The market with just an HHI of less than 1,500 is called a competitive industry, one on an HHI of 1,500 to 2,500 is called a moderately competitive store, and one on an HHI of 2,500 or higher is considered a highly potent store by us Justice department.

All businesses operate in a moderately crowded market, as well as a merger such as this reduces competition (increases chances of monopoly). Also as result, the Justice Dept may examine its merger but will most likely deny this because the Herfindahl-Hirschman index has risen.
