Answer:

The government agency is providing basic and/or essential services that further deepen the interests of members of the public

Explanation:

The assertion that a firm with a monopoly power loses it freedom of contract is very true. Monopolies by its realities come with features that ultimately cater for the interests of the firm, instead of the consumers. One of these is charging an astronomical high price on a particular item of commodity, and not taking cognizance of the purchasing power of the public. A firm could to this, and ultimately get away because its the only delivering such services - the one with the enormous monopoly power. Here, there is no stiff competition among goods that may offer liberty of choices to ordinary consumers.

To mitigate these numerous power of monopolies, governmental body has been giving the power to regulate and maintain an oversight functions. They now determine the provisions of contracts. The main objective of government agency, thus, is to ensure a firm with a monopoly power considers the basic and essential interests of the members of the public - the end users. Here, members of the public are insulated from unnecesary exploitation by the monopolies.

Griffin's Goat Farm, Inc., has sales of $796,000, costs of $327,000, depreciation expense of $42,000, interest expense of $34,00
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is $310,470.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

First we calculate gross profit:

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = $796,000 - $327,000 = $469,000

Now, Earnings Before Tax = Gross profit - Depreciation - Interest

= $469,000 - $42,000 - $34,000 = $393,000

So, Net income = Earnings Before Tax - Tax percent on EBT

= $393,000 - 21% × $393,000

= $393,000 - $82,530

= $310,470

Olivia likes to eat both apples and bananas. At the grocery store, each apple costs $0.20 and each banana cost $0.25. Olivia’s u
icang [17]

Answer:

Therefore, Olivia should buy 10 apples and 8 bananas to maximize her utility.

Explanation:

Let A represent the number of apples bought and B represent the number of bananas bought. Therefore since Olivia has $4 to spend:

0.2A + 0.25B = 4       (1)

Also, the tangency condition can be used to find the optimal amount of A to relative to B. It is give as:

MU_A/P_A=MU_B/P_B\\\\\frac{3\sqrt{\frac{B}{A} } }{0.2}= \frac{3\sqrt{\frac{A}{B} } }{0.25}\\\\15\sqrt{\frac{B}{A} }=12\sqrt{\frac{A}{B} }\\\\squaring\ both\ sides:\\\\\frac{225B}{A} =\frac{144A}{B}\\\\225B^2=144A^2\\\\B^2=0.64A^2\\\\Taking\ square\ root:\\\\B=0.8A

Put B = 0.8A in equation 1:

0.2A + 0.25(0.8A) = 4

0.2A + 0.2A = 4

0.4A = 4

A = 10

B = 0.8(A) = 0.8(10) = 8

Therefore, Olivia should buy 10 apples and 8 bananas to maximize her utility.
