Answer:

a. 75%

b. 1,702

c. 94%; 4,334

Explanation:

a. A town has seven burger shops. The market share of these burger shops are 23%, 22%, 18%, 12%, 11%, 8%, and 6%.  

The four-firm concentration of the hamburger industry can be found by calculating the market share of the top four firms.  

Four firm concentration ratio

= 23% + 22% + 18% + 12%

= 75%  

b. The Herfindahl index can be found by squaring the market share of each firm and then summing them up.  

Herfindahl index

= 529 + 484 + 324 + 144 + 121 + 64 + 36  

= 1,702

c. If the top three sellers are combined to form a single firm, there market share will be

= 23% + 22% + 18%

= 63%

The new four firm concentration will be

= 63% + 12% + 11% + 8%

= 94%

The herfindahl index will be

= 3,969 + 144 + 121 + 64 + 36  

= 4,334

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

Explanation:

Given:

Standard quantity = 3.7 kilos per unit

Standard price = $5 per kilo

Unit produced = 6,300

Total material = 23,780

Computation:

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity × Standard price) - (Standard quantity × Standard price)

Materials quantity variance = (23,780 × $) - (6,300  × 3.7  × $5)

Materials quantity variance = $118,900 - $116,550

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

enyata [817]

Answer:

Fantom [35]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em>Mixed economy</em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

There are three types of Economies:

<u><em>Command Economy:</em></u>

An economy where price and products are controlled by the government. It is very commonly seen in communist countries, like China or Vietnam.

<u><em>Free market:</em></u>

An economy where the government has little to no control. However, a perfect free economy doesn't exist anywhere, and is just a concept.

<u><em>Mixed Economy:</em></u>

An economy where the market is controlled by both the people/consumers, and the government. America is a mixed economy. Individuals are allowed to own property with little government intervention. However, the government has a lot more control over other sectors of the market.
