Answer: b. would be ugly if she looked her age

Explanation:

If this remark is meant as a compliment, it implies that she is better looking than other people at her age, or other people her age are uglier than she is. While this may not be meant to offend, it is possible to view it as a form of ageism.

A less controversial way to compliment her would be to say "You are good looking" without referring to her age. This applies to all form of compliments, including physical or mental agility.

Answer: A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss  aversion will provide additional motivation .

Options:

A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss

aversion will provide additional motivation

B. designating a charity should be more effective because it avoids all potential for loss

C. it shouldn’t matter whether one designates a charity or anti-charity

D. self-interest biases generally keep people from choosing the anti-charity

Explanation:

The study of behavioral Economics shows that people are more driven by the loss of fear than the hope of gain. This is known as loss aversion. In commitment contracts where penalty money is promised to a charity or an anti-charity if the goal is not achieved, those who promise their money to an anti-charity tend to achieve their goals more. The same also applies when comparing this group and those who do not have to forego anything if they do not meet their target.

This is because giving to a charity will still seem beneficial while losing the money to an anti-charity will seem like a total loss.

An industry has 5 firms, and is found to have violated antitrust laws. The government breaks it up into 10 firms that will share
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2,000 to 1,000

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, HHI, is measured by using the market share of each firm in the industry, then square them, and sum the result.

However, supposing that there were only one firm in an industry, that firm would have 100% market share, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) would equal 10,000, indicating a monopoly.

Thus, in this case, it was initially 5 firms, with no special market share allocated to each of the firm, hence, it is assumed they shared the market share equally, and that will be 2,000 HHI. This shown by each of the 5 firms having 20% market share

HHI = 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² = 2,000

At the same time, since the government breaks the industry up into 10 firms that will share the market equally. Then, the Herfindahl index will be 1,000. This is shown by HHI = 10² * 10 (since it involves 10 firms with equal share of the market) = 1,000.

Therefore, The Herfindahl index for the industry would change from: 2,000 to 1,000.
