I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
The price of a 12 ounce can of CheapFizz is 75 cents.
After a deal with State U, CheapFizz gets exclusive rights to sell soft drink on the campus.
This makes CheapFizz a monopoly firm.
A monopoly firm is a price maker and produces at the point where the marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue. At this point the output level is lower than socially optimal and the price level is higher than socially optimal.
This means that the price of CheapFizz cans will be more than 75 cents after the deal.
Answer:
A. Either the PBO or the return on plan assets turns out to be different than expected
Explanation:
Answer:
a. increases the real interest rate, which reduces private investment spending.
b. is not a major concern, because the Fed will likely lower the real interest rate when actual output is far below potential.
Explanation:
Increase in government spending means that the government would probably have to borrow money from the credit market. Because the government is so large, it will borrow in large amounts which would force rates to rise. At these higher rates, the private sector might find it too expensive to borrow money and so would be crowed out such that they reduce their investment spending.
When the economy is facing an output that is lower than potential, the Fed will engage in monetary policy aimed at reducing interest rates to improve investment spending. This therefore negates the effect of crowing out which means that it would no longer be a major concern.
