I believe the correct answer would be option A. The government regulate natural monopolies by ensuring and overseeing one supplier. A natural monopoly would happen when a largest manufacturer of a certain industry would have a very big gap as compared to other competitors. These industries are being regulated so as to minimize monopolization and to maintain the competitive equality between industries. Monopolies are mainly being governed by antitrust laws on a national level and on an international level. The ways that the government is regulating are establishing average cost pricing, price ceiling, Rate of return regulations and taxation laws.
Its like renting but you have the option to buy at the end i believe.

Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.10%
Explanation:
<em>Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return. </em>
Ke=( Do( 1+g)/P ) + g
g- growth rate in dividend, P- price of the stock, Ke- required return, D- dividend payable in now
DATA
D0- (1+g) = 5.05
g- 3.60%
P- 77.75
Note that the D0× (1+g) simply implies the dividend expected in year one, that is one year from now. And this has been given as 5.05 in the question, hence there is no need to apply the growth rate again.
Cost of equity = (5.05/77.75 + 0.036)× 100= 10.095%
Cost of equity = 10.10%
