The correct answer is C.

A natural monopoly is a market situation in which a single firm serves the whole market, therefore it is the only producer of a certain good or service, due to the fact that there exist some natural conditions which establish huge barriers for new competitors entering in the market, in the sense of extremely large fixed costs.

In such a case there is no market competition, therefore the monopoly can decide on the quantity supplied and on the price of the products (usually establishing a much higher one that if there was competition). Such a situation is harmful for consumers. They purchase products at a higher price and with lower quality because, as there is no competition, producers are not forced to continuously develop and improve their products. This is why goverment intervenes, trying to soften the situation by decreasing the profits of the monopolists and increasing the welfare of consumers, and the social welfare.

adell [148]

<u>Yagi</u> directional antenna is used for outdoor applications up to 16 miles and uses a wider, less-focused rf energy beam

A radio-frequency (RF) wireless directional antenna that is directed is one that works better in certain directions than others. That directionality aims to enhance communication transmission and reception while lowering interference.

The dish used with satellite Internet and satellite television installations is the most prevalent directional antenna in consumer applications. There are several applications for other directional antenna types, including the Yagi antenna, quad antenna, billboard antenna, and helical antenna. For instance, a Yagi antenna put outside can be effective for a wireless Internet connection at a remote location because it significantly increases range when compared to a traditional indoor antenna.

koban [17]

Answer:

As a non-cash activity.

Explanation:

The Cash Flow Statement is a financial statement that has the purpose of reporting all transactions of the company in a period. One of the main purposes of the Cash Flow Statement is to detail the source of funds the company has, as well as the way they were used. Based on this, we can state that since Deed Co. has delivered the value of its goods received to its employees as a holiday bonus, this transaction cannot come in as a monetary activity because it does not report a movement of the company, so the transaction should be reported as a non-monetary activity.
