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.

Which of the following errors would cause the adjusted trial balance to be unequal? a. The adjustment for prepaid insurance was
zalisa [80]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

There is a adjustment entry for depreciation of $3,545 but the amount that is debited as depreciation expense is different from the amount that is credited as accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation Expense A/C     Dr.     $3,454

To Accumulated Depreciation                          $3,545

This will lead to an unequal adjusted trial balance.

Option 'A' and 'B' has no effect on the adjusted trail balance to be unequal because whole transaction is omitted.

Option 'D' also has no effect on adjusted trail balance because the debit and credit amount will still match.

melomori [17]

Answer:

$7.5

Greater

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

0.2 = 10%/ percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = 50% = 0.5

0.5 = (New price - $5) / $5

New price = (5 × 0.5) + 5 = $7.5

In the short run, demand is relatively inelastic because consumers need time to find suitable substitutes but in the long run, demand is usually more elastic.
