These three together form total market, so here we have to add up everything to know volume of the market
A+B+C = 1,275,000 is the total market
Then we have to calculate individual market share
which would eb 1) 28.2%, 2) 50.9%, 3) 20.8%
This can be calcualated by simple percetage calculation. ( 1275000-360000/1275000*100)-100 will give what share each has.
Then we apply HHI formula
HHI = s1^2 + s2^2 + s3^2 + ... + sn^2
HHi is nothing but squaring of each of the percentages and adding them up
(28.2)2 +(50.9)2 +(20.8)2
812+2590+432 = 3834
HHI of 3834 shows it is highly competitve market.
Answer:
III. If a competitive industry is in long-run equilibrium, a decrease in demand causes firms to earn negative profit because the market price will fall below average total cost.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers who sell homogenous products.
All firms in a perfect competition earn zero economic profit in the long run because there are no barriers to entry or exit.
In the long run, equilibrium occurs at: P = LMC = LATC
If demand falls, prices would fall below average total cost and the firm would earn negative profit .
The answer is : Elastic Demand. The elasticity of demand shows the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to the change in price. An elastic demand means that the demand is affected by changes in price. While an inelastic demand means that the supply is not affected by changes in price at all.
Creditors consider character, collateral and, capacity to be most important when judging a persons creditworthiness to buy a house or car.
Character - who you are as a person, honest, true, based on reports you are able and make payments on time.
Capacity - you're ability to make the payments and understand how to.
Collateral - what you own that they could take in a form of "payment" if you don't repay your loan.
