A natural monopoly, such as a local electricity provider, is the result of long run average total costs declining continuously as output increases. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "3". The initial cost of power generation and power distribution cost is high. Once the generation starts and the number of consumer increases, the average cost starts declining.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Quota rent
Explanation:
When voluntary export restraints (VER) are set up and / or import quotas are enforced, the extra profit that domestic producers make because the supply is artificially limited is called quota rent. Quota rents are a type of economic inefficiency since they produce more losses than benefits. Society as a whole generally losses while a group of favored companies make huge profits. 
For example, sugar imports are limited in the US, so domestic sugar producers are able to sell sugar at much higher prices than regular international prices. That artificial extra profit earned by sugar companies in the US can be classified as quota rent.

Answer:
Price of the Bond is $868.82
Explanation:
Market Value of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:
Market Value of the Bond = C/2 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r/2 )^-2n ) / r/2 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + r/2 )^2n ]
Whereas
C = coupon payment = $110.00 (Par Value x Coupon Rate)
n = number of years = 7
r = market rate, or required yield = 14% = 0.14
P = value at maturity, or par value = $1,000
Price Value of the Bond = $110/2 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 14%/2 )^-2x7 ) / 14%/2 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 14%/2 )^2x7 ]
Price Value of the Bond = $55 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 7% )^-14 ) / 7% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 7% )^14 ]
Price of the Bond = $481.0+$387.82
Price of the Bond = $868.82
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$270,000
Explanation:
Calculation of total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436
Direct Materials
Dept A                                                   $50,000
Dept B                                                    $10,000
Direct Labor
Dept A      ($80,000 x 1/2)                   $40,000
Dept B                                                   $60,000
Manufacturing Overheads
Dept A                                                   $80,000
Dept B   ($60,000 x 50%)                    $30,000
Total                                                     $270,000
Therefore,
The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436 was $270,000.
