According to the Justice Department guidelines, mergers in an industry are seldom challenged if the industry O has a pre-merger HHI less than 1500 would have a post-merger Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) less than 1500 has a post-merger HHI of 10,000 would have a post-merger HHI greater than 2500 has a pre-merger HHI of less than 2500
Based on the best available econometric estimates, the market elasticity of demand for your firm's product is -2. The marginal cost of producing the product is constant at $150, while average total cost at current production levels is $225. Determine your optimal per unit price if: a. you are a monopolist b. you compete against one other firm in a Cournot oligopoly c. you compete against 19 other firms in a Cournot oligopoly
20) If the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of an industry is less than 1,000, then the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department A) will challenge any merger that would increase the index by over 100 points. B) considers the industry unconcentrated. C) considers the industry already concentrated. D) will challenge any merger that raises the index by more than 50 points.

What price should these firms charge to maximize total industry profit? (Note: the marginal condition we learned will work here but you need to be careful because the changes in quantity on the schedule are not 1. Because of this, you might want to use a brute force approach here. It's worth thinking about how you would reconcile it with the marginal condition though. Also, the marginal condition doesn't match exactly so take the best number from the schedule.) Assuming that if they set the same price, they split the market evenly, what will the profit of each firm be if they both set the above price? Now imagine that the firms agree to both set the above…

What is the most controversial aspect of Antitrust regulation? Group of answer choices Defining the allowable size the merged firm should be. Defining a market Sending violators to jail. Agreeing on which concentration measurement to use.
Suppose that the Department of Justice (DOJ) vetoes all mergers that are likely to lead to an increase in price of the product. The market demand function is given by P(Q) = 50 – Q. Pre- merger, the market is competitive and the cost function is given by C(Q) = 30Q. Post-merger, the market will be controlled by a monopolist and C(Q) = xQ. For what values of x will the DOJ approve this merger?
The industry elasticity of demand for airline travel is −3 and the elasticity of demand for an individual carrier is −4. What is the Rothschild index for this industry?
The Pear Computer Company just developed a totally revolutionary new personal computer. Pear estimates that it will take competitors at least two years to produce equivalent products. The demand function for the computer is estimated to be P=2,500-500Q where QQ is millions of computers. The marginal (and average variable) cost of producing the computer is $900. Assuming Pear acts as a monopolist in its market, the profit-maximizing price and output levels are $ per computer and million computers, respectively. The total contribution to profits and fixed costs at this output level is $ million.
