How do oligopolies influence market inefficiencies?

1 answer:

4 0

Oligopolies are inefficient as they do not produce the highest overall utility for the society. Since the market of sellers is few they limit the number of products being sold/made in order to limit their cost but increase their profit per unit. This results in the firm's producing the goods to gain more of the utility generated by the market and the consumers receive something much less. The loss of the consumers then out weighs the gain of the producers hence the total utility of the system is lower.

Risk free rate = 5% = 0.05

Pervebtage to be lost in case of bankruptcy = 25% = 0.25

A.) 0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + 95 + 80) ÷ 1.05] = $109.52 million

Assume a zero-coupon debt with a $100million face value

B.) 0.25 × [( 100 + 100 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $78.87 million

C.) Yield to maturity (YTM)

(100M÷78.87M) - 1

1.2679 - 1 = 0.2679 = 26.79%

Expected return = 5%

D.) Equity value

0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $99.11 million

E.) share if no debt is issued

109.52 ÷ 10 = 10.95 per share

F.) Share price if debt of $100M is issued

99.11 ÷ 10 = 9.91 per share

The price differs because bankruptcy cost will Lower the share price.
