Answer:

Multiple installations of gas,water and electric lines is an example of Government regulated monopoly

Explanation:

A natural Monopoly is said to be when the most efficient subsidiary of an industry is ONE and the efficient subsidiary is liable to have prices driven very high because no other subsidiary of the industry can produce better than it does.

Example of this is water resources industry: the most efficient part of water resources for human consumption is TAP WATER(natural monopoly) hence the Government has to intervene by having multiple water installations for tap water to avoid driving the cost of accessing good tap water higher than usual

Berry Corporation has 100,000 shares of $10 par common stock authorized. The following transactions took place during 2017, the

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$570,000

Explanation:

The computation of total paid-in capital is shown below:-

Common stock issued for cash

Cash Dr, $270,000 (20,000 × $13.50)

To Common Stock $200,000 (20,000 × $10)

To Additional paid in capital $70,000 (20,000 × ($13.50 - $10)

(Being common stock issued for cash is recorded)

Common stock issued for patent

Patent (FMV of patent) Dr, $300,000

To Common Stock $200,000 (20,000 × $10)

To Additional paid in capital $100,000 (20,000 × $10 ÷ 2)

(Being common stock issued for patent is recorded)

For recording this two entries we debited the cash as it rise assets and at the same time it also rise the overall stockholder equity so common stock and the additional paid in capital for common stock is credited

So,

Total paid in capital = Common Stock + Additional paid in capital

= ($200,000 + 200,000) + ($70,000 + $100,000)

= $400,000 + $170,000

= $570,000

Give an example comparing a perfect competition and a monopoly. Choose a company and discuss the market structure in which you t

hammer [34]

Answer:

Perfect competition markets are only theoretical, they do not exist in reality, but some markets resemble them very closely, e.g. agricultural commodities:

thousands of farms that produce corn:
the product is uniform (it is corn),
there are several buyers (although not enough as they should be),
information is not perfect, but it is available,
and finally, entry barriers exist (farmland is expensive), but a lot of potential investors could overcome them

Generally, the price of agricultural commodities is based on the price set by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on a daily basis. If one farmer doesn't want to sell their products to Cargill, they can sell them to ADM or some other buyer (even local buyers exist). No producer is large enough to set a price, therefore, they are all price takers. On the other hand, some buyers are large enough to influence the price.

On the other hand, we have any local utilities company that has a monopoly on providing water. If you do not like the utilities company, then unless you have a tanker truck, you are stuck with that company. Monopolies can set the price of their products or services, and that is why most natural monopolies are either government owned or their price is set by the government. As a consumer, your bargaining power against a monopoly is basically nonexistent, maybe if you are part of some type of consumer association you can reach the company, but generally not.
