Answer:
A. 3,789
B. 100%
C.5,000
Explanation:
(a) Total market ($'000) = 310 + 725 + 405 = 1,440
Firm 1 share = 310 / 1,440 x 100 = 21.53%
Firm 2 share = 725 / 1,440 x 100 = 50.35%
Firm 3 share = 405 / 1,440 x 100 = 28.12%
HHI = (21.53)2 + (50.35)2 + (28.12)2 = 3,789
(b) Since there are only 3 firms in market, therefore the four-firms concentration ratio will be 100% b
(c) Total revenue share of the two firms = (310 + 405) / 1440 x 100 = 49.65%
Post-merger HHI = (49.65)2 + (50.35)2 = 5,000
Yes. If the guideline considers any post-merger HHI above 1800 as highly concentrated market, this merger will be probably attempt to block a horizontal merger between two firms with sales.
Answer: $66.90 per unit
Explanation:
Cost that would be avoided is:
= Direct materials + Direct cost + Variable manufacturing overhead + part of fixed manufacturing overhead
= 20.80 + 26.50 + 6.90 + (36.10 - 31.40)
= $58.90
If the outside supplier commits to 59,000 units a year, the company should not pay more than:
= (Number of units supplied * Avoidable cost + contribution margin on other product (opportunity cost) ) / Number of units supplied
= (59,000 * 58.90 + 472,000) / 59,000
= $66.90 per unit
Decentralization organization? I think that is the answer.
Answer:
Relevant Range
Explanation:
The production range between 120000 and 150000 is called the "Relevant range".
This production range is called Relevant range because the expected fixed cost will not vary if the production is in the range 120000 to 150000.
Also, the for increase in production more than 150000 will lead to the extra cost or if the production is less than 120000 the company may need to reduce its fixed cost.
