Answer: Monopoly is a firm which is the only seller of a particular products or services.

One of the reasons for monopoly is to be privilege to be the only one to have access to a product, in this situation the generating company will naturally have monopoly of distributing electric power since you can only have access to electric power for distribution if you are a power generator or you obtain from them.

A natural monopoly of electricity distribution been conferred on the generating company will help to eliminate price increase by middle men.

2. The generating of electricity power should not be a natural monopoly for this reasons

1. Generating activities is the only sources of electricity limiting it to a firm may exposed it to market population.

2. The scarcity of a competitive substitute for electric power will make the monopolization of it's generation harmful.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$366,287.15

Explanation:

Annual salary = $32000  

No. of years (n) = 30 years

Increment in salary = $600

Deposit rate = 10%

Interest rate (r) = 7% or 0.07

Growth rate (g) = Increment in salary \div annual salary

Growth rate = $600 \ $32000

Growth rate = 0.01875

First deposit = $32000 x 10% = $3200

Future worth = [First deposit \ (r - g)] x [(1 + r)n - (1 + g)n]

Future worth = [$3200 \ (0.07 - 0.01875)] x [(1 + 0.07)30 - (1 + 0.01875)30]

Future worth = [$3200 \ 0.05125] x [(1.07)30 - (1.01875)30]

Future worth = $62439.0243902 x [7.6122550423 - 1.7459373366]

Future worth = $62439.0243902 x 5.8663177057

Future worth = $366287.15

Hence, the future worth at retirement is $366,287.15

<em>The cost of goods is represents amount incurred to make available  what has been sold. It is computed as follows:</em>

<em>Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases - closing inventory</em>

ioda

Answer:

$36,020.40

Explanation:

The computation of cash balance is shown below:-

Excess of cash receipts over disbursement = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursement

= $64,500 + $1,302,200 - $1,310,000

= $1,366,700 - $1,310,000

= $56,700

Interest = X × 0.02

Cash balance at end = Excess of cash receipts over disbursement + Borrowing - Interest

$92,000 = $56,700 + X - 0.02x

$92,000 - $56,700 = 0.98x

X = $35,300 ÷ 0.98

= $36,020.40
