The percentage difference between the average costs of the merged firm and the combined average costs of two nearby competitors is 16.67%. To calculate the average costs of the merged firm, we add the total costs of Carl's Tires and Joe's Body Shop and subtract the cost savings from economies of scope: ($1,500,000 + $2,200,000) - $400,000 = $3,300,000 To calculate the average costs of the two nearby competitors, we add their total costs: $2,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $4,500,000 Then, we calculate the combined average costs of the two nearby competitors by dividing their total costs by their total sales: $4,500,000 ? ($2,400,000 + $3,200,000) = 1.125 To calculate the percentage difference between the two, we subtract the combined average costs of the competitors from the average costs of the merged firm, divide the result by the combined average costs of the competitors, and multiply by 100: ($3,300,000 ? $4,500,000 - 1) ? 100 = 16.67% Therefore, the percentage difference between the average costs of the merged firm and the combined average costs of two nearby competitors is 16.67%.
