Eskom is one of the natural monopolies that may be found in South Africa. See the definition of Natural Monopoly below.

<h3>What is a natural monopoly?</h3>

A natural monopoly occurs when there is an instance in which it is economically viable and better for a single entity to be in full and sole control of the production of a product or service.

<h3>What is efficient quantity?</h3>

The efficient quantity of a good is the amount that makes the good's marginal benefit equal to its marginal cost of production.

Monopoly quantity on the other hand is the point where marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost, thus requiring the firm to produce the extra unit.

<h3>Why are monopolies considered to be detrimental to consumers?</h3>

Monopolies are considered to be detrimental to consumers because it prevents competition which helps with increasing efficiency and lowering costs.

<h3>What was one of the effects of the hard lockdown on Eskom's operations?</h3>

One of the effects of the lockdown on Eskom's operation is that it led to the loss of demand for electricity in the region.

Write an argument for or against the idea of using controlled fires to protect wild areas.. HELP
3241004551 [841]
I find the premise to be ridiculous, and the reality of success limited to a tiny handful of people. Simple facts of fire and wild areas make it highly unlikely to succeed. Let's use retiring at 40 as an example. To make the income required almost certainly requires college, so that leaves about 17–18 years of working. If you average $60,000 for the first eight years, and $100,000 for the next ten years, you earned a total of $1.48 million. By the way, those earnings are above the norm. Taxes will take you down to $1 million. That leaves about $50,000 per year net income average. Basic decent cost of living is $3,000 per month minimum. Here's where the FIRE gurus start to get crazy. Live in your parents basement! Drive a $500 car! Eat beans and rice! Think about QUALITY OF LIFE. Is working really that horrible that you want to live like a bum for two decades to avoid it? So you have about $14,000 a year to save. Lets say life doesn't get in your way - things like kids, a wife who doesn't share your desire to do nothing, car breaking down, etc. You will save about $260,000 much of it saved after age thirty. As a millennial, you hold the mistaken impression that the stock market is a one-way, no lose proposition. Quora today is brimming with questions about the “crash" where stocks have fallen 13%. I've got news for you, you ain't seen nothing yet. In my lifetime I have seen a half dozen markets where the danger of losing half your money was real. For FIRE to work you have to aggressively grow $260k into some decent amount and then pray that the next 30–40 years doesn't have any economic calamities. And it will have calamities, you can count on that. But let's say you get your $260,000 up to $400,000 by age 40. Using 5% withdrawal rate, that is $20,000 per year. I don't see a life worth living on $20k per year. So you decide to supplement your income, maybe you are good with your hands so you pick up some carpentry work. Or work in starting a blog. Yes, WORK. You are WORKING. I don't care if you are on a beach in Maui or commuting to an office in Chicago - if you are trading your time for money you are NOT retired, you are working.

What were the individual family names of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Romeo's family name was Montague and Juliet's family name was Capulet.

Explanation:

The Montagues and the Capulets were two rival families living in Verona, Italy. The Prologue of the Shakespearean play mentions their grudge to be an ancient one, having already made them shed blood, but offers no further explanation as to how or why it started.

Romeo and Juliet fall in love with each other only to find out that their love is forbidden due to their families' feud. Juliet, however, takes some sort of potion that lowers her heart rate enough to make her look as if she has died. Her plan is to free herself from her family by pretending to be dead and then running away with Romeo. She sends Romeo a letter but, unfortunately, the false news of her death reaches him before the letter does.

Romeo, who can fathom life without his precious love, kills himself by drinking poison. When Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead by her side, she stabs and kills herself with a dagger. Their tragic ending is the final lesson to be learned by the Montagues and the Capulets. If it weren't for their heartless grudge, their son and daughter would have been alive and happy.
