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.

1) let P represent Price, and since the dependency is linear, the supply equation will take the following form:

A) Y- Y_{1\\} =  (\frac{Y_{1} -Y_{2} }{P_{1} -P_{2} } ) (P_{1} -P_{2} )

⇒ Y - 1,000 = (\frac{-250}{-100} ) (P-690)

⇒ Y - 1,000 = \frac{5}{2} (P-690) = (\frac{5}{2})P - 345

⇒ Y = (\frac{5}{2})P + 1,000- 345

⇒ Y = (\frac{5}{2})P + 655, therefore,

P = (\frac{2}{5}) (Y-655)

B) When Y = 1,130, the price would be:

⇒P =   \frac{2}{5} (1,130 - 655)

⇒ P =  \frac{2}{5} (485)

Therefore:

P = $194

Match the expense revenues with expenses recognition approaches with the most appropriate accounting event.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Cause-and-effect relationship  - Cost of goods sold

With the Cause and effect relationship, costs are linked to the revenue that they were incurred for to create. Cost of goods would therefore be linked to revenue.

Specific time period  - Monthly salary payments to an office employee

Costs are to be recognized in the same period of time they were incurred. The monthly salary is to be paid monthly because it is incurred monthly.

Without regard to related revenue in the period incurred - Advertising expenditures

The advertising costs will be incurred when spent and not when the benefits are accrued.
