Answer:

3400, Rise, C

Explanation:

1. Since there are just 3 firms and two already has a sum total of 70% (40+30), the third firm will have a market share of 30%

HHI= 40^{2}+ 30^{2}+30^{2}\\

HHI= 1600+900+900

HHI= 3400

2. Abe's Bikes with 30% leaves the market, if the two firms were to share Abe's market share equally (15+15), it will leave Firm A with 55% (40+15) and Firm B with (30+15) 45%

Therefore,

HHI= 55^{2}+45^{2}

HHI=3025+2025

HHI= 5050

A rise in HHI

3. C

An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share.

It increased both the assets and the stockholder equity i.e capital

B)        $10,000                 =                $10,000        +                     0

It increased both the assets and the liabilities

C)       $1,100                   =                $1,100                +                     0

It increased both the assets and the liabilities

D)    +$18,000 -$1,600       =             $16,400            +                     0

It increased the land by $18,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it increased the liabilities by $16,400

E)      +$6,000 -$1,600      =                  $4,400              +                    0          

It increased the equipment by $6,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it also increased the liabilities by $4,400

Total   $44,900                 =                  $31,900              +                 $13,000

krok68 [10]

Rates for corporate outings is NOT an example of an FPRA rate

Explanation:

The FPRA is an agreement between an entrepreneur and a governmental agency in which some indirect charges are determined over a set period of time. All such rates are price forecasts used for cost agreements and contract changes.

By using an FPRA the contracting system can be accelerated by removing the need for audit and analysis of rates. The Contracting Officer (COO) oversees the prices of the contracting party. The ACO should always be asked any questions about the prices. After a FPRA is reached, a copies of the agreement should always be provided for in any ensuing proposal.
