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%

Katarina [22]

Answer: a. the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.

Explanation: Switching costs are defined as those cost the consumer pays as the result of changing brands or products, but can also be manifested in the form of time and effort spent during the switching process, the risk of disruption of business operations during the period of switching etc. and so therefore, switching costs can be monetary, psychological, effort-based, or time-based.

Companies with difficult-to-master products and low competition often times will use high switching costs to maximize profit by typically employing strategies that incur high switching costs on the consumer. Therefore, consumers will bear the costs of switching if the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.

Novak Hardware reported cost of goods sold as follows. 2022 2021 Beginning inventory $ 34,500 $ 21,000 Cost of goods purchased 1
hram777 [196]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The correct cost of goods sold for 2021 will be:

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods bought - Correct ending inventory

= 34500 + 177000 - 32550

= 178950

The correct cost of goods sold for 2022 will be:

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods bought - Correct ending inventory

= 32550 + 155000 - 40850

= 146700

Note:

Correct ending inventory for 2021 will be: = Ending inventory - Overstated value

= 36000 - 3450

= 32550

Correct ending inventory for 2021 will be: = Ending inventory + Understated value

= 34500 + 6350

= 40850
