Answer:

1.  Herfindahl index = 400

2. 40%

Explanation:

1. <em>Remember,</em> the Herfindahl index is an index used to determine the level of market concentration in an industry. Assuming the total car dealer firms are four in number, we can derive the largest value that the Herfindahl index could possibly take for car dealers in the area using the formula:

HHH=S1^{2} + S2^{2}  + S3^{2} + S4^{2} +... Sn^{2}

Thus, the HHH =  10^{2} + 10^{2}+ 10^{2} +10^{2} = 400

2. The four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the individual market share percentage; 10% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 40%

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Costs of goods transferred out is  $ 785,840

Value of ending inventory is  $26,268

Explanation:

The equivalent units of material cost is computed thus:

Completed units  17600*100% =17,600

Ending inventory 4,400*80%    =3,520

Equivalent units                           21,120

material unit cost =Accumulated materials cost/equivalent units

material unit cost=$45,408/21,120

                            =$2.15

Equivalent units of conversion cost is calculated thus:

Completed units 17,600*100%= 17,600

Ending inventory 4,400*10%  =      440

Equivalent units                         18,040

Conversion unit cost=Conversion costs/equivalent units

                                   =$766,700/18,040

                                   =$42.5

Cost of goods transferred out:

Material costs  17,600*100%*$2.15       =$37,840

Conversion costs 17,600*100%*$42.5 =$ 748,000

Total costs                                                $ 785,840

Costs of ending inventory:

Material costs 4,400*80%*$2.15                = $7,568

Conversion costs 4,400*10%*$42.5           =$18,700

Total cost                                                        $26,268

                                   =
