Consider the pizza restaurants and explain the following issues.

1. Explain the effect of a horizontal integration of all the firms in the industry on the pricing behavior of the merger.
2. Given the merger in point 1, explain the changes in the concentration of the industry.
3. Given the merger in point 1, explain the relationship between the elasticity of the industry demand and that of the firm.
4. Given the merger in point 1, explain how entry into the industry is affected.
5. Explain the value of the Lerner index for the competitive market.
6. Explain why the competitive market has a very low concentration.

A bookstore owner has recently surveyed a random sample of 300 customers. She would like to determine whether or not the mean age of her customers is over 35. If so, she plans to alter the interior design of her bookstore to appeal to an older crowd. If not, no interior design changes will be made. Suppose she found that the sample mean was 35.5 years and the population standard deviation was 5 years. What is the p-value associated with the test statistic?

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 250 cm/s . Note that parts a - d are independent and refer to changes made to the original string. Units in cm/s. Pease show work, thank you.

A) What will be the speed if the string's tension is doubled?

B) What will be the speed if the string's mass is quadrupled (but its length is unchanged)?

C) What will be the speed if the string's length is quadrupled (but its mass is unchanged)?

D) What will be the speed if the string's mass and length are both quadrupled?

An annuity pays $1500 weekly for 4 years and then $4100 weekly for the next 7 years. Determine the discounted value if the interest rate is j52=7.9%. *Do not round intermediate steps*

Charlie borrowed $112000 today. The interest rate on the loan is j1=4.3% for the first 5 years, then it changes to j1=7.2% thereafter. To repay the loan, Charlie makes yearly payments of R dollars (in the end of year) from year 3 to year 11. What is R? *Do not round intermediate steps*

In chapter 25 we see the process of how monetary policy affects the overall economy. The transmission mechanisms show the variables that change when the Fed takes action. Without identifying the 9 channels by name, identify the variables that change when the Fed initiates policy. Then explain how changes in these variables affect aggregate demand. Finally, explain what happens to real GDP. Look at this as a chain reaction. In your answer assume the Fed initiates an expansionary monetary policy action.

Exchange Rate Effects on Industry Using shifts in supply and demand curves, describe how a change in the exchange rate affected your industry. Label the axes, and state the geographic, product, and time dimensions of the demand and supply curves you are drawing. Explain what happened to industry price and quantity by making specific references to the demand and supply curves. How can you profit from future shifts in the exchange rate? How do you predict future changes in the exchange rate?

a. Draw a carefully labeled money market diagram to show the initial equilibrium of the quantity of money and the price level.

b. Now suppose that changes in bank regulations expand the availability of credit cards, so the people need to hold less cash. Show (on the same diagram you drew above in part a) and explain how this will affect the demand for money.

c. If the Bank of Canada wants to keep price level stable, what should it do? Show this on the same diagram in a) and explain.

In a tropical country, it is desired to provide processing air conditions of 15°C and 80% RH. The ambient air is at 31.5°C and 90% RH. If the chosen method is to cool the air to condense out enough water to reduce the water content of the air sufficiently, then to reheat if necessary, determine the temperature to which the air should be cooled, the quantity of water removed and the amount of reheating necessary. The processing room has a volume of 1650 m3 and it is estimated to require six air changes per hour.

rite a 1,500-word paper on the following: Describe the current health care environment in the United States from both the health care administrator and the patient perspective. What are some recent changes in legislation and how does this change influence the way that an administrator would operate within the health care system? What are current trends emerging in health care? Using the current trends, speculate on future of health care risk management from both the perspective of the health care administrator and patient.
