- Unsure which is the correct answers Suppose that three firms make up the entire wig manufacturing industry. One has a 50% market share, and the other two have a 25% market share each. The Herfindahl index of this industry is a. 3,750 b. 1,000 c. 10,000 d. 5,000 e. 2,500 Mane Attraction, one of the firms with a 25% market share in the wig manufacturing industry, leaves the market. This would cause the Herfindahl index for the industry to __-- a. remain the same b. fall c. rise The largest possible value of the Herfindahl index is 10,000 because: a. an index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each b. an index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share c. an industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice DepartmentSuppose that three firms make up the entire wig manufacturing industry. One has a 50% market share, and the other two have a 25% market share each. The Herfindahl index of this industry is _____. a. 3,750 b. 1,000 c. 10,000 d. 5,000 e. 2,500 Mane Attraction, one of the firms with a 25% market share in the wig manufacturing industry, leaves the market.

Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Lucky Bird and Full Coop are both profit- maximizing firms. If Lucky Bird chooses to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ advertise. million if Full Coop advertises and a profit of $ million if Full Coop does not If Lucky Bird chooses not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ not advertise. million if Full Coop advertises and a profit of $ million if Full Coop does S If Full Coop advertises, Lucky Bird makes a higher profit if it chooses If Full Coop doesn't advertise, Lucky Bird makes a higher profit if it chooses Suppose that both firms start off by deciding not to advertise. If the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing? Both firms will choose not to advertise. O Lucky Bird will choose not to…
- K DOJ and FTC use the Hertindahl-Hirschman Index as a measure of concentration. How is this calculated? By O A. adding up the market shares of all firms in the industry, squaring this number and then dividing by the number of firms in the industry. OB. determining the market shares of the four largest firms in the industry, but unlike the concentration ratio, the Index includes sales in the United States by foreig OC. squaring the four - firm concentration ratio of the industry and dividing this number by the total number of firms in the industry. D. squaring the market shares of each firm in an industry and then adding up the values of the squares.B.A measure called Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is used to measure the degree of competition in an industry. The HHI is the square of each firm's market share summed over the firms in the industry. (Where market share is the percentage of sales in the market accounted for by that firm). For example, if an industry contains only three firms and their market shares are 60%, 25%, and 15% then the HHI (by squaring each firm's share and summing them) is 4450. Some economists classify the market structures according to HHI scores. An HHI below 1,500 indicates astrongly competitive market, between 1,500 and 2,500 indicates a somewhat competitivemarket, and over 2,500 indicates an oligopoly. Given the information in the table, calculate the HHI in this industry. If yahoo and Bing were to merge, what would the HHI be?

GM 19% Ford 17% Toyota 14% Chrysler 11%Suppose an industry consists of three firms. Two firms have sales of $10 each, and one firm has salesof $30. What is the Herfindahl-Hirschman index for this industry?.A measure called Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is used to measure the degree of competition in an industry.

An HHI below 1,500 indicates a strongly competitive market, between 1,500 and 2,500 indicates a somewhat competitive market, and over 2,500 indicates an oligopoly.

- What is the, HHI, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index for an industry where six companies each have a market share of 15% and one company which has a market share of 10%?Consider an industry with 4 firms.

Each firm can develop either an economy player (E)or a deluxe player (D). According to the best available marketresearch, the firms’ resulting profits are given by the accompanyingpayoff table.a. The firms make their decision independently, and each is seeking itsown maximum profit. Is it possible to make a confident predictionconcerning their actions and the outcome? Explain.Firm KE DE 30, 55 50, 60 Firm JD 40, 75 25, 50b. Suppose that firm J has a lead in development and so can move first.What action should J take, and what will be K’s response?c. What will be the outcome if firm K can move first?
