Answer:

B. 0.625

Explanation:

Lerner index: The price-setting power or market power of the monopolist

Faced with a negative slope demand curve, the monopolist has the power to determine the selling price MR = MC (marginal revenue = above marginal cost). However, there is a limit. For example, in the case of substitutes of goods or perishable goods such as flowers and perishable consumer goods, monopoly strength may be reduced. The price determination power of the monopolist is measured by the ″ Lerner Index.. The index can be derived from the equilibrium conditions of the monopolist.

This index was found with MR = MC equation.

Index is calculated with the formula of L =  P-MC / P

P-MC / P  is called the  → Lerner index.

The index takes values ​​between zero and one. (0≤Le≤1)

If the coefficient is found to be zero, there is no power to set monopolistic prices. In other words, full competition conditions apply.

If the coefficient is found to be 1, the price-setting power for the monopolist is complete. So there is a monopoly.  As seen in the Lerner formula, there is an inverse relationship between monopoly power and price elasticity of demand.  As demand price increases, monopoly strength decreases.  When flexibility is infinite, monopoly power is zero. P = MC, ie perfect competition conditions apply.

That's why  in order to determine the greatest amount of market power, we need to take the amount which is nearest to 1 and this is 0.625

A ____ was an area of a city where Jews were segregated during the holocaust.
BaLLatris [955]

A Ghetto,  was the location were Jews during the WW2 were marginated, as the expression of an anti-semitic racial policy of Adolf Hitler that became institutionalized.

Most of the Ghettos were established all over Germany, Poland, parts of France. There the conditions for a living were extremely bad: they lacked the most essential things for a living. Many didn't have good energy and water supply. The security of the neighborhood is also compromised. Many unrest can happen and there is little to be done as authorities will not care. As leaving a Ghetto was illegal, the people escaping them were systematically executed.

Perhaps the most representative Ghetto is the nowadays Warsaw Ghetto, that serves as museum and memorial for Nazi crimes against humanity. This Ghetto once had almost half a million people living on it.

Below you can see how many Ghettos  mostly in East Europe were later transformed into Death Camps:
