Answer:
The bridge 's owner has a natural monopoly, and the marginal production cost (letting another car drive through it) is close to nil.
Explanation:
Since building several bridges to compete is inefficient, but building one bridge at a lower average cost to customers would be effective. If the private monopolist builds the bridge it can charge customers exceptionally high prices.
There is a high fixed cost involved with constructing a bridge. Hence constructing a bridge is a mere privilege. Furthermore, there is no extra cost to allow another car to cross the bridge. It means that the marginal cost is zero or closer.

Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Pension cost in year 2 = Service cost + Prior service cost amortization + Interest cost - Actual and expected return on plan assets
Therefore, we have:
Pension cost in year 2 = $160,000 + $5,000 + $50,000 - $35,000 = $180,000
Therefore, Lee report should $180,000 as pension cost in its year 2 income statement.
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
The total cost of estimating and preparing the bid would normally fall between 1% and 2% of the total price of the bid.
It would therefore be best to use an average rate of these:
= ( 1 + 2) / 2
= 1.5%
The estimate will therefore be:
= 1.5% * 10,000,000
= $150,000
