Answer: x-inefficiency.

Explanation: Since it does not face any competition in its industry, the actions of Metropolitan Power and Light are an example of x-inefficiency which is a situation in which monopolies find themselves wherein they do not have to act efficiently since they are protected from competitive pressures. X-inefficiency is also applied to analyzing the average costs in imperfectly competitive markets whose average costs are higher than they would be if the market was more efficient.

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Fiscal policy is the adjustment of tax rate and government spending that is used to handle current economic situation.

There are several of criticism that usually found on fiscal policies.

- Time Lags.

The effect of fiscal policies could only be felt years after the policies are made. Often times, this goes unnoticed by the citizens of the country, making it look like that the government took no action to handle their economic issues.

- Strengthening foreign influence

One of the things that the government can do to reduce the inflation is by selling government bonds to the public. These bonds can be bought by companies from another countries. This will strengthen that country's influence over US economy.

- It could create a budget deficit for the next government officials.

Government in United States were reshuffled between 2-4 years. While the effect of fiscal policies could need more than 10 years before it actually can be felt.  Sometimes, fiscal policies taken by previous government could create a deficit that had to be handled by the next government after the election.
