There is an industry with 5 firms. There is one large firm with 80% market share, three medium-sized firms with 6% market share, and one small firm with 2% market share. Calculate the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for this industry. Please show your work.

Is this industry either highly concentrated, moderately concentrated, or not concentrated?

There is an industry with 5 firms. There is one large firm with 80% market share, three medium-sized firms with 6% market share, and one small firm with 2% market share. Say the large firm merged with one of the medium-sized firms. By how much would this increase the industry's HHI? Please show your work.

According to the guidelines presented in class, should the FTC either approve the merger, investigate the merger further, or challenge the merger?

Company X has issued a total of 1000 shares as of 2020.1.30, comprising 700 common shares, 100 non-debt preferred shares and 200 redeemable preferred shares.

1. What is the capital of this company?(the reason and calculation process together)

Company X repaid redeemable preferred shares in cash on March 1 and merged the shares 2:1 on April 1.

2. What is the capital as of April 2? ( the reason and calculatuon process together)

Company C carried out a paid-in capitsl increase wirh the payment deadline of April 15. A took over 60 shares by subscription to the same paid-in capital increase, and transferred 60 shares that were acquires to B on April 14 due to the urgent need for money.

3. After the settlement of accounts in 2020, who will receive the dividends?

Write Java code for extending the LinkedList<E> class of java.util.* to ExtLinkedList<E> that would include the following method:

public ExtLinkedList <E> mergeThreeLists (ExtLinkedList<E> list1, ExtLinkedList<E> list2) {

}

that returns an ExtLinkedList<E> which is the merged version of values from thislist, followed by values from list1, and then followed by values from list2.    For example, if E is Integer type and this listhas (5,3,1), list1has (8, 10,12,14), and list2has (22,23,24,25,26) in that order, then the returned list from a call to list.mergeThreeLists(list1,list2) will have (5,3,1,8,10,12,14,22,23,24, 25,26). Obviously the size of the returned list will be equal to list.size()+list1.size()+list2.size(). Use listIterator() to do this efficiently for full credit.  Your code should work for any size including the empty list and any parameter E.

is there an applicable code? if so, what is it?

Situation 2: “While I knew it might happen someday, I didn't expect it right now.” This was the reaction of Patrick when his company merged with another organization and moved its offices to another country, resulting in him losing his job. Patrick does have some flexibility in his shortterm finances since he has three months of living expenses in a savings account. However, "three months can go by very quickly," as Patrick noted.

You are considering a merger of two companies:

                                                Company A                             Company B

Value of Assets (MV)            $ 10 Billion                            $ 100 Billion

Debt (MV)                              $ 5 Billion                             $ 10 Billion

Maturity of Debt                          5 years                                       5 years

Volatility                                     35%                                              40%

Rf                                                  2%                                                 2%

If company B wants to buy Company A’s equity and pay off its debt as part of the merger,

(a) use the Black-Scholes model to analyze the market value of the equity and the debt of A and B before the merger

(b) If the two firms are merged and there is no synergy, and the combined firm has volatility of 32%, use the Black-Scholes model to analyze the market value of the equity and the debt of B of the combined firm

(c) does this merger makes sense for the stockholders of A and B? Explain

2) Sum the squared deviation scores.
3) Subtract the mean from each score.
4) Square each of the deviation scores.
5) Divide the sum of squared deviations by the number of scores.
