Answer:
Lerner index for Botox = 0.9
Explanation:
The Lerner index measures market power in an industry. The formula for calculating the Lerner index is: L = (P - MC) / P
Lerner index for Botox = ($15 - $1.50) / $15 = 0.9
0.9 in the Lerner index means that a company has a very large market power. Under this situation, this is quite logical since Allergen has a monopoly on Botox, at least until the patent expires.
The Lerner index varies between 0 and 1, with 0 being a situation of perfect competition and 1 a monopolistic situation.
Answer:
19.50%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
For Stock R
= 3% + 2.5 × (13% - 3%)
= 3% + 2.5 × 10%
= 3% + 25%
= 28.00%
For Stock S
= 3% + 0.55 × (13% - 3%)
= 3% + 0.55 × 10%
= 3% + 5.5%
= 8.50%
The difference would be
= 28% - 8.5%
= 19.50%
