Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Monopoly is the market structure in which there is a single seller of the product and service. And the seller enjoys the freedom and does not have any competition in the market.

So, this is the case of a monopoly market structure as there is only single seller in the state. And the government regulate the monopolies so that could protect the interest of customers and adopt the policies such as merger regulations, competition in market and breaking down the monopoly.

Therefore, the government could control the prices by price capping, in which the government set the limit on the prices of the service. And in the case of monopolies have the power set the prices above the equilibrium level. Hence, it is required to regulate the price.

rodikova [14]

Answer: The price of the tied good is $20.

In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27

While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20

Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $20 as it this price both the consumers will buy the tied good. If the producer sells it at $27, then only the Carnivore will buy the good but Leafygreens will not.

Thus, with zero marginal cost of serving additional consumer it is better for the producer to sell at $20.

Vlada [557]

Besides, the option is described as very complicated, and you as a potential investor do not understand it well, which is a very difficult position to be in because it could even lead you to being scammed without realizing.
