Answer:
Greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. It is also known as oligopoly, wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
Also, a single-price monopolist is an individual or seller that sells each unit of its products to all its customer at the same price. Hence, a single-price monopolist doesn't engage in price discrimination among its customers (buyers).
At the level of output at which a single-price monopolist maximizes profit, price is greater than marginal cost because the marginal revenue would be below the demand curve.
However, if the marginal cost is greater than the price, the monopolist will not make any profit.
<em>In a nutshell, profit maximization for the single-price monopolist occurs at the point where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue (MC = MR) on the graph of price (P) against quantity (Q) of goods. </em>
Answer:
The correct answer is Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Explanation:
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is a federal law of the United States that has generated a lot of controversy, since this Law is in response to the financial scandals of some large corporations, including cases that affect Enron, Tyco International, WorldCom and Peregrine Systems. These scandals brought down public confidence in accounting and auditing systems.
The Law takes the name of Senator Paul Sarbanes (Democrat) and Congressman Michael G. Oxley (Republican), and was approved by a large majority, both in Congress and the Senate. The legislation covers and sets new standards for the board of directors and management and accounting mechanisms of all publicly traded companies in the United States. It introduces criminal responsibilities for the board of directors and establishes some requirements on the part of the SEC (Securities and Exchanges Commission), that is, the regulatory commission of the United States stock market.
