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.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

26.67

Explanation:

Processing Time = 2 sec + 3 sec + 2 min + 10 sec

2 minutes = 2 x 60seconds = 120

Processing time = 120 + 2+ 3 + 10

= 135 sec

Process Capacity

= 1/135 x 60 (sec/min)

= 0.007407 x 60

= 0.44444

0.44444 x 60 (min/hr)

= 26.67

pochemuha

Answer: The correct answers are "A. Accept" and "$ 0.01".

Explanation: Given that we talk about optimal strategy when maximizing the expected profit by the player:

In the first case It is convenient to accept the proposal and keep $ 0.12, instead of rejecting it and running out of nothing.

And in the second case it is convenient to give the classmate as little as possible so that he accepts and we have a greater profit.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Total Contribution Margin= $50,388

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (3,400 units) $ 88,400

Variable expenses 43,316

We need to calculate the selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 88,400/3,400= $26

Unitary variable cost= 43,316/3,400= $12.74

Now, we can calculate the total contribution margin for 3,800 units.

Sales= 26*3,800= 98,800

Variable cost= 12.74*3,800= (48,412)

Contribution margin= 50,388

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

The present value will become:

PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}

Divide above equation by (1+i)^{-1}

6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\. Above equation will become:

6000z^2+5940=12000z

Rearranging above equation:

5940-12000z+6000z^2=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1,    z=0.9

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\ will become:

z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i

i=z^2-1

For z=1.1

i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21

For z=0.9

i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%
