Answer:
- <u>an airline targeting customers with over 500k miles of travel on its airline</u>
Explanation:
Note, the focus of behavioral segmentation is to identify and separate the marketing strategy used on clients/customers based on mainly their behavior, and not on demography (age, gender, etc) or geography.
Hence, the best scenario from the above options is that of an airline that targets customers with over 500k miles of travel on its airline. In other words, their traveling behavior (distances covered) is the basis why they are targeted, without consideration of demography or their geography.
In my case, I know from experience and heredity that for example my father died of a second heart attack at least partly because of his high cholesterol. The high cholesterol was related to his high metabolism so that he ate a lot of eggs and bacon when young so that probably produced a lot of bad cholesterol. Myself I also have a tendency to high cholesterol and was warned by my dad's doctor to watch it so consequently I mostly avoid dairy products and egg yolk and beef (red meat) and am mostly able to control it that way with diet so haven't had a heart attack yet.

c. An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share
Explanation:
Here are the options to the last question
Why is the largest possible value of the Herfindahl index 10,000 ?
a. An index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each
b. An industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice Department
c. An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share
HHI index = 60² + 20² + 20² = 4400
If one of the firms leaves the industry, the market share would be distributed between the two firms and this would cause the HHI index to increase as firm's concentration would increase
If only one firm operates in the industry, its market share would be 100% and its HHI index would be 100² = 10,000. For an industry to exist there has to be at least one firm operating in the industry,
Direct financing involves the financial market and indirect financing involves intermediaries. In the financial market, companies put their shares for sale and investors buy them. This is a direct financing mechanism for companies, which raise funds by sharing their own capital in traded shares.
On the contrary, if a company seeks bank financing, there will necessarily be intermediation by third parties, such as banks. In the middle market, economic agents deposit their money with the bank, and the bank uses it to lend to companies. This is intermediating a financing. Both types of financing are widely used, all will depend on the structure and purpose of each company in the search for financing.
