To understand the competitive intensity of two industries, a business consultant conducted market concentration analysis by using Hirshman-Herfindahl Index (HHI). The HHI of industry A was 0.25 and the HHI of industry B was 0.15. Based on this calculation, the consultant concludes that industry A is concentrated market than industry B and that industry A is competitive market. Group of answer choices

Suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the u. s. treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
