Solution
If there is only one firm in an industry, the FFCR (Four-Firm Concentration Ratio) would equal 100%, and the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) would equal 10,000.
Explanation:
FFCR (Four-Firm Concentration Ratio): This measures the market share of the four largest firms in an industry. If there is only one firm, it holds 100% of the market share. Therefore, the FFCR would be 100%.
HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index): This is calculated by squaring the market share of each firm in the industry and then summing the squares. If there is only one firm, its market share is 100%, so the HHI would be \(100^2 = 10,000\).
In summary, with only one firm in the industry, the FFCR is 100%, and the HHI is 10,000.
