Explanation / Answer

Solution:

(A)

Total sales of the industry=355000+825000+435000=1615000

Firm A : 355,000/1615000=0.22
Firm B: 825,000/1615000=0.51
Firm C: 435,000/1615000=0.27

HHI=10000[ (0.22)^2 + (0.51)^2+ (0.27)^2]=3814

This industry is highly concentrated

(B)

C3=(355,000/1615000 + 825,000/1615000 + 435,000/1615000) =1

(C)

HHI=10000*[ (355,000)/(1615000)^(2)+(435000/16150001)^2] =5400

Yes
