Who may regulate a natural monopoly?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

I believe the answer is Shaping.
Shaping is a  reinforcement technique which use a reward that given gradually after the subject is showing a certain desired traits.
On parakeets, this could be done by giving them a food reward everytime they move their head closer to the place where we want it to be (closer to your cheek)

(b) Explain four advantages of co-education.<br>​
pickupchik [31]

Explanation of Advantages:

Co-education has many advantages in education. It is important in many aspects, including the following:

There is more diversity in a classroom setting of co-education, providing more experiences and perspectives for the class to judge and learn from.

There are fewer buildings needed when operating under co-education because classes are not split into multiple schools, lowering the cost of maintenance of a school (electrical maintenance, custodial maintenance).

Fewer teachers and staff at a school are needed with co-education. Larger groups of students are able to learn together, in the same classroom, meaning that an educator can teach more students under co-education standards than an educator in a separate education context. This lowers the cost of pay for teachers, and each individual teacher can have a larger salary. With fewer educators, fewer interviews for positions of teachers are needed, saving a school board more time (which they can use to evaluate other important aspects).

Additionally, students of different sexes will have the same background information needed to learn at a higher level. Standards set across one co-ed school are going to be more consistent within their classes, as opposed to two different classes, comprised of separated students, and different teachers. This makes it easier to continue education, as more opportunities are open to all people.

Ultimately, there is a stronger connection and mutual respect between students of diverse backgrounds, and empathy between diverse groups is established, allowing brighter futures for humanity.

Describe your ideas about why indigenous groups of people in different parts of the world have different skin colors from other
Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer has been stated below.

Explanation:

There would also have been more people living all over the world, and peoples' skin colors would have evolved slowly over the years and the people inhabited at higher altitudes would have created more variability because the amount of exposure would have varied as people move around the world. People would have traveled around the earth, but they kept the DNA of their skin color.
