what's the question???????
The four-firm ratio is the concentration ratio between the total sales accumulated by the four largest industrial firms to the total sales of all firms present in an industry. This translates to the mathematical expression of
four-firm ratio = (total sales of four largest firms / total sales)
Since, we are given that all 10 firms have the same sales, we let the sales be equal to x.
total sales of four largest firms = 4x
total sales = 10x
The ratio is then,
four-firm ratio = 4/10
Converting this to percentage will yield us an answer of 40%.

Answer:
A) market interest rates are high and falling
Explanation:
Bonds and interest rates have an indirect relationship. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
Bonds pay interests on a fixed rate. When market interest rates are rising, investors will prefer investing in other options due their high return as opposed to the fixed returns from bonds. Bonds become less attractive, leading to a decline in prices.
Buying Bonds when the interests are rising means buying at a cheaper rate. When interest rates start falling, bond prices will rise again due to their inverse relationship.
Capital gains occur when an investment is bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. Buying bonds when interests rate is high and selling when interests are low will lead to capital gains.
