and the other two have a 30% market share each. The Herfindahl index of this industry is ___.
2. Abe's Bikes, one of the firms with a 30% market share in the bicycle manufacturing industry, leaves the market. This would cause the Herfindahl index for the industry to _______. (rise/remain the same/fall)
3. The largest possible value of the Herfindahl index is 10,000 because:

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.

. A one-product firm estimates that its daily total cost function (in suitable units) is C (x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15 and its t
givi [52]

Answer:

Value of x maximising profit : x = 5

Explanation:

Cost : C(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15 ; Revenue: R(x) = 28x

Profit : Revenue - Cost = R(x) - C(x)

28x - [x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x + 15]  = 28x - x^3 + 6x^2 - 13x - 15

= - x^3 +  6x^2 + 15x - 15

To find value of 'x' that maximises total profit , we differentiate total profit function with respect to x & find that x value.

dTP/dx = - 3x^2 + 12x + 15 = 0 ► 3x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

3x^2 + 3x - 15x - 15 = 0  ► 3x (x +1) - 15 (x + 1) = 0 ► (x+1) (3x-15) = 0

x + 1 = 0 ∴ x = -1   [Rejected, production quantity cant be negative] ;

3x - 15 = 0 ∴ 3x = 15 ∴ x = 15/3 = 5

Double derivate : d^2TP/dx^2 = - 6x + 12

d^2TP/dx^2  i.e - 6x + 12  at x = 5 is -6(5) + 12 = - 30+ 12 = -8 which is negative. So profit function is maximum at x = 5

The open-economy macroeconomic model examines the determination of a. unemployment and the exchange rate. b. the output growth r
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c. the trade balance and the exchange rate.

Explanation:

An Open Economy is an economy that allows the free inflow and outflow of goods, services, capital and people. The opposite of a closed economy.

What sets these two models apart is that in an open economy, both imports and exports are allowed, so that countries necessarily have to trade in more than one currency, so the exchange rate must be examined. In addition, business transactions are recorded in a balance of payments. So these are the two concepts that are not tried in a closed economy analysis, but are introduced in an open economy.
