Answer: C

Explanation:

According to the United States Department of Justice a market with an HHI of 2,500 or greater is considered a highly concentrated marketplace. The general rule states that a merger which increases the HHI by more than 200 points in highly concentrated markets raise trust issues and concerns, which in this case the increase of 225 after the merger would raise concerns, this also means the Market is competitive

Answer:

Option B -  There are significant diseconomies of scope is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Option  A is, not a condition that could improve the probability that the justice department would approve the merger.

The Herfindahl-Hirschman index is based on a restricted definition of the product market or the impact of foreign competition, the merger might be allowed.

It might also be permitted if one of the firms is in financial trouble, or if significant economies of scale exist in the industry.

Significant diseconomies of scope would only serve to make the merger less likely to be accepted.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Lelechka [254]

Answer: a) the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS

Explanation: The independent variable refers to the variables employed by the experimenter to use as a tool to observe changes in the dependent variable. In an experimental study, the independent variables are usually the different controls adopted for the experiment. In the scenario above, the independent variable is the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans which each of the groups are exposed to. These variation in control in which the different groups are exposed to may result in different response within the group which is the change in WNS. These response due to exposure to different control is called the dependent variable.

Total Units at low Activity = 600

Variable Cost Per Unit =  (High activity total Cost - Low activity total cost ) / (High Activity unit - low activity units)
