Answer:

More Elastic ; Lerner Index Decline

Explanation:

Elasticity denotes the responsive change in a product's demand, due to change in its price. Higher the elasticity, the more quantity change due to price change, vice versa.

Lerner Index depicts the market power a firm has. Higher elasticity means consumers have many close alternatives & L is small, signify less market power. And, Vice versa case for low L.

Orange Inc players has monopoly i.e sole seller privileges in the MP3 players market, with few close substitutes. As, more types of players are introduced in the market :

  • Orange Inc has more competitors & close substitute goods providers, now in the market. So, increase in substitute availability will increase the Elasticity of Orange' demand
  • Increase in Elasticity means implies that consumers have many options, market power of Orange & its representative L index falls.

It is the expected return of the other investments available in the market with same kind of risk to the firm’s share.

Price of the stock can be found by using the cost of equity equation which is as follows:

Po = Div_1 + P_1 / 1 + r_E

$15 = 0.8 + X / 1.12
