Answer:
the increase resulting from this merger = 256
Explanation:
before the merger, both Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 16² + 8² = 320
after the merger, Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 24² = 576
the increase resulting from this merger = 576 - 320 = 256

fixed costs - 2760000
operating costs -245000 -245000
net income 615000 435000
2. Absorption method has the higher operating income, because manufacturing costs are charged to the cost of units and are usually less costly per unit ( the more units produced the lesser fixed costs become) than in total and in Variable method fixed costs are taken as a total.

operating costs -245000 -245000
net income 525000 525000
If the company is using Absorption method as basis for decision then it should not take the promotion as it yields to a decrease in net income. If the company uses Variable method as basis then it should take the promotion as it leads to an increase in profits.
Overall I think the company should take the promotion because it has an increased contribution to fixed costs and the two methods yield the same net income and that is a guarantee.

Complete question is stated below:
Lisa consumes only pizzas and burritos. In equilibrium, her marginal utility of pizza is 30 and her marginal utility of a burrito is 24. The price of a pizza is $5. What is the price of a burrito?
Explanation:
When there is equilibrium, the ratio of the marginal utility of a one commodity divided by the price of that commodity must be equal to the marginal
utility of 2nd commodity divided by the price of a 2nd commodity.
Therefore:
Marginal utility of pizza / Price of Pizza = Marginal utility of Burrito / Price of Burrito
Thus, the price of a burrito must be $4.
