Answer:
Natural monopoly
Explanation:
A natural monopoly refers to a type of monopoly that occurs when the start-up costs or infrastructural costs are high or economies of scale in an industry are very powerful in such a way that only the largest supplier in the industry which is usually the first supplier in the market has a great advantage over potential competitors and therefore becomes the only supplier in the industry.
On the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve, a natural monopoly exists when the quantity demanded is less than the minimum quantity that is required to be at the bottom of the LRAC curve.
Therefore, a <u>natural monopoly</u> exists when the quantity demanded in the market is less than the quantity at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve.
Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.
The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;
105 - 2 = 103
Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore
= 105 - 103
= 2 point capital gain
