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.

Explanation:

The computation of unearned service revenue is shown below:

= Outstanding service contracts for 2011 + Outstanding service contracts for 2012 + Outstanding service contracts for 2013

= $380,000 + $570,000 + $350,000

= $1,300,000
