Describe the elements that need to be covered in a thorough industry analysis.
Explain effects of industry concentration, ease of entry, and capacity on return on invested capital and pricing power.
Describe the principles of strategic analysis of an industry.
A is correct. The economic profit (the spread between the return on invested capital and the cost of capital) tends to be larger in industries with differentiated products, greater pricing power, and high switching costs to customers. Industry 1 has these features. Firms in Industry 2, on the other hand, have little pricing power (undifferentiated products and rapid shifts in market shares indicating intense rivalry), which is indicative of potentially smaller economic profits.

Evaluate, from a shareowner’s perspective, company policies related to voting rules, shareowner-sponsored proposals, common stock classes, and takeover defenses.
Describe differences in voting rights and other ownership characteristics among different equity classes.
C is correct. Cumulative voting allows shareholders to direct their total voting rights to specific candidates, as opposed to having to allocate their voting rights evenly among all candidates. Thus, applying all of the votes to one candidate provides the opportunity for a higher level of representation on the board than would be allowed under statutory voting.
5、After the public announcement of the merger of two firms an investor makes abnormal returns by going long on the target firm and short on the acquiring firm. This most likely violates which form of market efficiency?【单选题】
A.Semi-strong form only
B.Weak and semi-strong forms
C.Semi-strong and strong forms
正确答案:B
答案解析:“Market Efficiency,” W. Sean Cleary, CFA, Howard J. Atkinson, CFA, and Pamela Peterson Drake, CFA.

Study Session 13-48-d
Contrast weak-form, semi-strong-form, and strong-form market efficiency.
B is correct. In a semi-strong efficient market, prices adjust quickly and accurately to new information. In this case, prices would quickly adjust to the merger announcement and if the market is semi-strong efficient market, investors acting after the merger announcement would not be able to earn abnormal returns. Therefore, it is a violation of the semi-strong form of market efficiency. Note that the semi-strong form of market efficiency encompasses the weak form. Therefore, both weak and semi-strong forms of market efficiency are violated.。
