Answer:

The FED must decrease the price of money (or interest rates), and to do that it will buy US securities. By purchasing securities, the FED will decrease the money supply, lower the interest rates and halt inflation. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.

It can also increase the banking system's required reserve ratio, but besides lowering the interest rates, it will also decrease the supply of credit cards even further, so one action could offset the other. That is why this policy might be inefficient in this specific case.

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500. He has a $400 car payment and owes $225 on electronic equipment. What is the percentage of
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Given:

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500

He has a $400 car payment

He owes $225 on electronic equipment.

Question asked:

What is the percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments?

Solution:

He has a car payment = $400

He owes on electronic equipment = $225

<em>These two items are treated as debt for Seth as these items are used first then pay for it.</em>

Total debt =  $400 +  $225

Total debt = $625

Now, we will find percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments,

Percentage =\frac{Total \ monthly \ debt}{Total \ monthly\  income}

                  =\frac{625}{2500} \times100\\\\ =\frac{62500}{2500} \\\\ =25

Therefore, 25% of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments.

here are seven firms in the automobile industry. The market shares of the firms are 34​ percent, 21​ percent, 17​ percent, 9​ pe
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer is  "Option 4".

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index formula:

HHI=s_{12} + s_{22}  + s_{32} + s_{42} +........ + s_{n2}

here sn is the firm n's share of the market proportion represented the society in general number instead of a decimal

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman:

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 62 + 52\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 25\\\\= 2092

Index Herfindahl-Hirschman(Result of the merger, firms with profit margins of 6% and 5% provided market shares of respectively).

= (34)^2 + (21)^2 + (17)^2 + 92 + 82 + 112\\\\= 1156 + 441 + 289 + 81 + 64 + 36 + 121\\\\= 2188

The market with just an HHI of less than 1,500 is called a competitive industry, one on an HHI of 1,500 to 2,500 is called a moderately competitive store, and one on an HHI of 2,500 or higher is considered a highly potent store by us Justice department.

All businesses operate in a moderately crowded market, as well as a merger such as this reduces competition (increases chances of monopoly). Also as result, the Justice Dept may examine its merger but will most likely deny this because the Herfindahl-Hirschman index has risen.
