Answer: It could limit how much the company charges customers.  

It could insist a company get approval before making certain decisions.

A natural monopoly refers to a situation when one firm can cater to the entire market demand for a product. A natural monopoly can exist in an industry in because of high start-up costs, certain unique raw materials or processes or technologies that are required to run a business. In a natural monopoly, there is only one firm that benefits from very large economies of scale.

A government intervenes or regulates a natural monopoly primarily in order to protect consumer interests.  

A natural monopoly has the power to raise the prices of its products as per its wish, since it is the only supplier of the product. Hence the government looks into the cost history of the firm and fixes regulation. The government can also set a price that a firm can exceed over a fixed period of time. This is known as a price cap regulation.  

It is assumed that the natural monopoly will function in an economically rational manner. However, the government can insist that the natural monopoly get its approval before making certain decisions. This may occur due to a decision to decrease the quantity of goods produced.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

c. cash, checking account balances, and travelers' checks.

Money Supply is the concept that means the amount of the liquid financial products and total currency in the market or economy. It is regulated the macro-economically by the monetary policy. So, there are types of measures of money supply or stock:

-M0: narrowly, it means the hard currency in circulation

-MB: it equals M0+ the hard currency which are not technically in circulation and in bank reserves.

-M1: it is the most common one and equals M0 plus checking accounts plus travelers’ checks and other checkable deposits.

-M2: covers M1 and saving accounts and CDs.

-MZM: finally, this indicates the money market deposits.

That’s why we could notice that M1 narrowly means the cash, checking account and travelers’ checks.
