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.

Answer:

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

Explanation:

An annuity is a series od annual cash outflows or inflows which payable or receivable for a certain number of periods. If the annual cash flow is expected  to increase by a certain percentage yearly, it is called a growing annuity.

To work out the the present value of a growing annuity,

we the formula:

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity (winnings) as follows.

A/(r-g)

= 460,000/(12%-3%)

= $5,111,111.11

(1-  (1+g/1+r)^n

1 - (1+3%)/(1+12%)^(27)

=0.8958

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

$5,111,111.11 × $0.8958

= $4,578,716.35

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

b. can be tailored to the needs of the internal user.

Explanation:

Managerial accounting information is basically for internal users, and is not aimed to provide information to external users. It aims of future projections.

Shareholders are considered external for this purpose, as internal ones are, management, employees, labor etc:

Therefore, it does not help shareholders.

It does not report any kind of business results, it only aims to regulate transactions and accordingly planning future goals.

Therefore, correct option is

b. can be tailored to the needs of the internal user.
