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

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production capacity of Division A = 34,000

Total fixed costs = $105,800

Order from Division B = 10,000

Selling to Division B instead of selling to outside customers will result in a loss of $3 ($21 - $18) per unit

The total loss = $30,000 ($3 * 10,000)
