Ten firms compete in a market to sell product X. The total sales of all firms selling the product are $2,000,000. Ranking the firms' sales from highest to lowest, we find the top four firms' sales to be $270,000, $215,000, $190,000, and $130,000, respectively.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the four-firm concentration ratio is shown below:

    = (1st firm sales + 2nd firm sales + 3rd firm sales + 4th firm sales) : (Total firm sales)

    = ($270,000 + $215,000 + $190,000 + $130,000) : ($2,000,000)

    = ($805,000) : ($2,000,000)

    = 0.4025

    We simply divide the top four firm sales by the total firm sale sales
