Answer: Creates monopoly power

Explanation: A patent can be defined as an intangible asset the gives its holder the right that no other person in the world can use, sell or produce the unique good or service that has been patented by its inventor.

Thus, the right to produce or use a specific invention by a single person can lead to monopoly in that particular industry.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the right answer is option D.

Sales Revenue                                                 $500,000

Less: Variable Expenses                                 ($280,000)

Maintenance costs for pollution control equipment on a call for an s are expected to be $180,000 now and another $70,000.03 year
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Annual cost = −64,083

Explanation:

Present maintenance costs = $180000

Maintenance costs after three years = $70000

Real interest rate = 9%

Inflation rate = 3%

Inflation adjusted interest rate, r = 0.09 + 0.03 + (0.09)(0.03)  = 12.27% per year

Annual cost = −180,000(A/P,12.27%,5) –70,000(P/F,12.27%,3)(A/P,12.27%,5)

Annual cost = −180,000(0.27927)–70,000(0.70666)(0.27927)

Annual cost = −64,083
