 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.

An example of a monopoly that existed in the United States in the past is the Carnegie Steel Company.

This company was created by Andrew Carnegie in 1892. The main purpose of the company was to manage steel mills in the Pennsylvania area. The company was extremely successful as it was able to control supply of steel. This prevented free-market competition and therefore allowed Carnegie Steel Company to set the national price for steel.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided that the demand is inelastic, there would be an increment in revenue.

Total revenue is calculated as the quantity of a good sold multiplied by its price.

There is a close interrelation between price elasticity of demand and total revenue, in the sense that they deal with the same two variables - which are price and quantity.

If the product has an elastic demand, revenue can be increased by decreasing the price of the good. Q will increase at a greater rate, while  P will decrease,  thereby, increasing the total revenue.

If the product has an inelastic demand, then the prices of goods can be increased and sold slightly less of that item but a higher revenue must be obtained.

On june 8, williams company issued an $80,000, 5%, 120-day note payable to brown industries. assuming a 360-day year, what is th
lidiya [134]

To calculate the maturity of this note,

we use a simple formula first to get the interest which is:

I = Principal (amount owed) X Interest Rate (%) X Time (length of loan)

The days is only divided by only 360 days instead of 365 days. This is because commercial loans often use 360-day calendar years instead of 365-day calendar years. But not all banks used this as their calendar year,

 

I = Prt

= ($80000) (0.05) (120/360)

= ($80000) (0.01666666666)

I = $ 1,333.33

 

To get the maturity value, the formula is: M = Interest + Principal

M = I + P

= $1,333.33 + $80,000

= $81,333.33 or $81,333, letter C

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

D) $500 loss

Explanation:

The computation of the realized value on the investment is shown below:

= Number of shares × premium

= 100 shares × $5

= $500 loss

Since the call is for 125 shares for $125 and the selling price per share is $123  due to which the contract is not implemented. So the premium amount would be recorded as a loss of $500
