Explanation:
Given that, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a term that describes the measure of market concentration and is often used to assess the market competitiveness, most specifically during the pre- and post Mergers and Acquisitions transactions.
Also, it should be noted that, as a general rule, mergers that increase the HHI by more than 200 points in highly concentrated markets raise antitrust concerns.
Thus, a 100% market share, equates to Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) 10,000. However, since all the five firms are of equal sizes of Market shares then, the HHI is calculated as:
= 100%/ 5 firms = 20% each
= 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20²
= 400 + 400 + 400 + 400 + 400
= 2000 (this is greater than 1800)
Then, since it is two firms that are merging,
The HHI is calculated as:
= 20² + 20²
= 400 + 400
= 800 ( an increase of 400, which is more than 100)
Hence, suppose an industry consists of five equal-sized firms. Two of the firms plan to merge. The merger WOULD raise anti-trust concerns at the Justice Department given that the Herfindahl index before the merger was GREATER THAN 1800 and the merger would cause the Herfindahl index to rise by MORE THAN 100.
Why should a manager in an international business care about the political economy of free trade or about the relative merits of arguments of free trade and protectionism
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Explanation:
To begin with, the policies that the goverments decide to implement in their countries tend to influece in a huge way the companies decisions and therefore its actions as well. Therefore that as a company manager of an international business he needs to stay very updated about the government policies over the countries where his company works. Moreover, the manager will understand that if there is free trade in a country then there will be no problems for his company to start selling there and obtaining the maximum profits as possible and if there is protectionism then the company will have to deal with the policies that the government implemented there. And that is why that as an international business manager he should really care about the policies of the country's government and if there is free trade of protectionism.
Hommie Delicacies produces two products (Orapine and Banango) from a joint process. The joint cost of production is GH¢80,000. Five thousand units of Orapine can be sold at split-off for GH¢20 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢25 per unit. Ten thousand units of Banango can be sold at split-off for GH¢15 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢16 per unit. Advise Hommie on further processing each of the products? (5 marks)
Answer:
Explanation:
Joint cost = 80,000
Orapine
cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000
Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000
Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000
Incremental income 5,000
Banango
cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000
Incremental cost of further processing = 20,000
Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000
Incremental income = (10,000) loss
If Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.
Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not

The law of demand states that:________ a. a higher price will lead to increased sales. b. consumers have unlimited demands for a good. c. the price can never be too high for some consumers. d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Answer:
d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that when the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases when everything else remains constant as people are less willing to purchase a product when the price is higher. This means that the price and the quantity demanded are inversely related as when one variable increases the other one decreases. According to this, the answer is that the law of demand states that quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.
The other answers are not right because the law of demand states that the price and the quantity demanded of a good are inversely related, it doesn't refer to the price and sales, consumers don't have unlimited demands for a good as it is affected by the price and the price can be too high for some consumers as when the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases.

The product's direct materials cost is $57.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $13.56 per unit. The product sells for $123.50 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:
Answer:
$16,125.15
Explanation:
DATA:
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Assembly $1,398,250 65,800 machine hours
Processing orders $ 69,451 2,520 orders
Inspection $ 184,800 2,400 inspection-hours
Units produced = 920
Machine hours required = 1290
Processing orders required= 61
Inspection hours required = 40
Direct material cost = 57.55
Direct labor cost = 13.56 per unit
Selling price = 123.50
Solution
Sales Revenue (920 ×$123.5) $113,620
LESS: Costs
Direct Materials (920 × $57.55) $52,946
Direct labor (920 ×$13.56) $12,375.2
Assembly (1,398,250/65,800) = 21.25 × 1290= $27412.5
Processing (69,451/2,520) = 27.55 × 61 = $1681.15
Inspection (184,800/2,400) = 77 x 40 = $3080
Total Cost ($97494.65)
Product margin $16,125.15
Operating Cash Flow The financial staff of Cairn Communications has identified the following information for the first year of the roll-out of its new proposed service: Projected sales $25 million Operating costs (not including depreciation) $7 million Depreciation $6 million Interest expense $5 million The company faces a 35% tax rate. What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.
Answer: $13,800,000
Explanation:
Operating Cashflow for the year = EBIT * (1 - tax rate) + Depreciation.
Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = Revenue - Operating Costs - Depreciation
= 25 - 7 - 6
= $12 million
Operating Cashflow = 12 * ( 1 - 35%) + 6
= 12 * 65% + 6
= $13.8 million
= $13,800,000
Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.

An important element of just-in-time processing is Group of answer choices dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice. all of the above. a specialized workforce. less emphasis on a quality control system.
Answer:
dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice
Explanation:
I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.
Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.
n the current year, the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid the following amounts: $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. In addition, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year. Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership. How much and what type(s) of income must Donald report for the tax year?
Answer: $75,000 ordinary income; $3,000 of long-term capital gains.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. Also, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year and that Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership.
From the question, the ordinary income of the firm will be the difference between the revenue gotten and the $50,000 paid in rent and utilities which is an expense. This will be:
= $200000 - $50000
= $150000
The income from capital gain = $6000
Since, Donald will get 50% of what the partnership makes, thus will be:
50% of $150,000 ordinary income which is (50/100 × $150,000) = $75,000 and 50% of $6000 capital gain which will be $3,000.
= 50
Therefore, Donald will get $75000 of the ordinary income and $ 3000 of the capital gain.

Just Right Incorporated is considering the option of an extra dividend versus a share repurchase and the impact of both decisions on the firm. Just Right plans to spend $85,000 in respect of both scenarios. Just Right’s current earnings are $2.10 per share, and the stock currently sells for $45 per share. Just Right currently has 5,000 shares outstanding. You own one share of stock in this company. If the company issues the dividend, what will your total investment be worth?
Answer:
The total investment will be "28".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total dividend amount
= $85,000
Current earnings per share
= $2.10
Total purchased amount
= $85,000
Currently sell stock
= $45 per share
Now,
⇒ [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{85000}{5000}[/tex]
[tex]=17[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Total \ investment=currently \ sell \ stock+dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
[tex]=45+17[/tex]
[tex]=62[/tex]
The number of repurchased shares will be:
= [tex]\frac{total \ repurchase}{currently \ sells}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{85000}{45}[/tex]
= [tex]1889[/tex]
So, Percentage of repurchased will be:
= [tex]\frac{1889}{5000}[/tex]
= [tex]37.78 \ percent[/tex]
When the share becomes bought, the overall investment value will be as follows:
= [tex]45\times ( 1 -0.3778)[/tex]
= [tex]45\times 0.6222[/tex]
= [tex]27.999 \ or \ 28[/tex]
On December 2, Coley Corp. acquired 1,000 shares of its $2 par value common stock for $27 each On December 20, Coley Corp. resold 400 shares for $30 each. Which of the following is correct regarding the effect of the reselling of shares on the accounting equation?
A. Assets decrease
B. Liabilities decrease
C. Expenses increase
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Answer:
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Explanation:
Cost of the share being resale = 400 shares x $27 = $10,800
Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000
Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200
As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.
As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.

The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount would be
Assuming the actual machine hours worked is 3,500
Note the actual machine was added by the tutor
Answer:
Applied overhead =$49,000
Explanation:
Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.
Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours
The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour
Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours
Applied overhead = $14 × 3,500 =$49000
Applied overhead =$49,000
