Answer:

The correct answer is, Oligopoly.

Explanation:

This is so true that in Pakistan, the textile industry has grown at a much bigger pace in the past recent years. There are many brands that are mentioned in the question that are concerned with the design and production of yarn, cloth and clothing, but they face high competition.

According to the question, Khaadi is the brand in Pakistan which is capturing the most of the market share and profit. According to the characteristics, Khaadi fall under the market structure of Oligopoly. Oligopoly is the market structure in which only few of the firms are dominating in the industry.

So now defining the two characteristics of Khaadi as oligopoly; one is, Khaadi is the dominating brand with the highest market share in the textile industry. Secondly the products of Khaadi are homogeneous but differentiated because of the specialized hand woven products, which other brands hardly practice.

So Khaadi falls under the Market Structure of Oligopoly.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

-5.14 for sam

-18.01% for dave

Explanation:

We first calculate for Sam

R = 7.3%

We have 2% increase

= 9.3%

We calculate for present value of coupon and present value at maturity using the formula for present value in the attachment

To get C

1000 x 0.073/2

= 36.5

time= 3 years x 2 times payment = 6

Ytm = rate = 9.3%/2 = 0.0465

Putting values into the formula

36.5[1-(1+0.0465)^-6/0.0465]

= 36.5(1-0.7613/0.0465)

36.5(0.2385/0.0465)

= 36.5 x 5.129

Present value of coupon = 187.20

We solve for maturity

M = 1000

T = 6 months

R = 0.0465

1000/(1+0.0465)⁶

= 1000/1.3135

Present value = 761.32

We add up the value of present value at maturity and that at coupon

761.32 + 187.20

= $948.52

Change in % = 948.52/1000 - 1

= -0.05148

= -5.14 for sam

We calculate for Dave

He has 20 years and payment is two times yearly

= 20x2 = 40

36.5 [1-(1+0.0465)^-40/0.0465]

Present value = 36.5 x 18.014

= 657.511

At maturity,

Present value = 1000/(1+0.0465)⁴⁰

= 1000/6.1598

= 162.34

We add up these present values

= 657.511+162.34 = $819.851

Change = 819.851/1000 -1

= -0.1801

= -18.01%
