Answer:

Calculating Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and Four-Firm Concentration Ratio:

a. Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 3,814

b. The four-firm concentration ratio (C4) = 1

c. If the two firms with sales of $355,000 and $435,000 merged, the resulting HHI would increase by 1,723 to 5,537.  The post-merger HHI now exceeds that allowed under the Guidelines (2,500). The increase in HHI is more than that permitted under the Guidelines (200), the merger is likely to be blocked by the Department of Justice.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales of three firms in an industry:

                            Sales          Industry Share

Firm A sales = $355,000        22% ($355,000/$1,615,000 * 100)

Firm B sales =   825,000         51% ($825,000/$1,615,000 * 100)

Firm C sales =   435,000        27% ($435,000/$1,615,000 * 100)

Total sales =  $1,615,000

Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 3,814 (22² + 51² + 27²)

Four-firm concentration ratio (C4) = Sales of the four largest firms/Industry sales = $1,615,000/$1,615,000

If the two firms with sales of $355,000 and $435,000 were to merge, the new Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) = 5,537(49² + 51²)

Increase in HHI as a result of the merger = 1,723

Swifty Corporation plans to introduce a new product and is using the target cost approach. Projected sales revenue is $850500 ($
pochemuha

Based on the information given the desired profit per unit is $0.14 per unit.

First step is to find the unit using this formula

Units=Target sales revenue / Target selling price per unit

Units=$850500 / $4.05

Units =210,000

Second step is to calculate the  desired profit per unit using this formula

Desired profit per unit=Target selling price per unit - (Target costs / Units)

Desired profit per unit=$4.05-($821250 / 210,000)

Desired profit per unit=$4.05- $3.91

Desired profit per unit=$0.14

Inconclusion the desired profit per unit is $0.14 per unit.
