\color{green}{\tt {Regulation \:  of \:  monopoly}}

  • The government may wish to regulate monopolies to protect the interests of consumers. For example, monopolies have the market power to set prices higher than in competitive markets. The government can regulate monopolies through:

  • Price capping – limiting price increases
  • Regulation of mergers
  • Breaking into cartels and unfair practises
  • Nationalisation – government ownership.

\color{red}{\tt {Why \:  the \:  Government \:  regulates \:  monopolies}}

  • <u>Prevent excess prices.</u> Without government regulation, monopolies could put prices above the competitive equilibrium. This would lead to allocative inefficiency and a decline in consumer welfare.

  • <u>Quality of service.</u> If a firm has a monopoly over the provision of a particular service, it may have little incentive to offer a good quality service. Government regulation can ensure the firm meets minimum standards of service.

  • <u>Monopsony power</u>. A firm with monopoly selling power may also be in a position to exploit monopsony buying power. For example, supermarkets may use their dominant market position to squeeze profit margins of farmers.

  • <u>Promote competition</u>. In some industries, it is possible to encourage competition, and therefore there will be less need for government regulation.

  • <u>Natural Monopolies</u>. Some industries are natural monopolies – due to high economies of scale, the most efficient number of firms is one. Therefore, we cannot encourage competition, and it is essential to regulate the firm to prevent the abuse of monopoly power.

In 2016, Saratoga Company had the following financial data: Operating income $320,000 Interest received $50,000 Interest paid $9
ololo11 [35]

In 2016, Saratoga Company had the following financial data: Operating income $320,000 Interest received $50,000 Interest paid $90,000 Dividend received $100,000 Dividend paid $150,000 Dividend of $100,000 was received from Findlay Inc. which is one of the companies that Saratoga company invest. As of the end of 2016, Saratoga Company owns 35% of Findlay, Inc.

Using the corporate tax rate table given below, what was the company’s tax Liability (just federal corporate income tax) for the year 2008?

335,000 - 10,000,000 34% 113,900 + .34x(inc>335,000)

Answer:

$78,200

Explanation:

From the given information:

Operating income = $320,000

Interest received = $50,000

Interest paid = $90000

Dividend received = $100000

Dividend paid        = $150,000

Therefore:

Saratoga Company Total Income = Operating income + Interest Received + Dividend Received  - Interest Paid - Dividend paid

Saratoga Company Total Income = $320,000 + $50,000 + $100,000 - $90,000 - $ 150,000

Saratoga Company Total Income = $470000 - $ 240000

Saratoga Company Total Income =  $230,000

According to the table given ;

The table tax percentage = 34 %

= $230,000  × 0.34

= $78,200

If project A generates $10 million of free cash flow over its five year useful life and project B generates $8 million of free c
fredd [130]

Answer: False

Explanation:

This seems to me like a True or False question and the answer would be False.

Payback period is calculated on the basis of the timing of cash flows and since we do not know the useful life of Project B neither do we know the timing of it's cash flows, we cannot say for certain that Project A has a shorter Payback period.

For example, the initial investment could be $5 million for instance but Project A only pays $10 million on its 5th year whereas Project B had a useful life of 4 years and paid $2 million each of those years. Meaning it would have paid back before the end of the 3rd year.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

A group of friends decided to divide the $800 cost of a trip equally among themselves. when two of the friends decided not to go
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

They were 10 friend

Explanation:

We can construct the equation system as follows:

\left \{ {{\frac{800}{friends} = a} \atop {\frac{800}{friends - 2} = a + 20}} \right.

we can solve for the number of friend by using subtritution:

\frac{800}{friends - 2} = \frac{800}{friends} + 20

800 = (\frac{800}{friends} + 20) \times (friends - 2)

800 = 800 - \frac{1600}{friends} + 20friends - 40

40 = 20 friends - 1600friends

friends(40 - 20 friends) +1,600 = 0

-20f^{2} + 40f + 1,600 = 0

we get a quadratic formula we solve for the positive root

f = 10

We know check if the root is correct:

800 / 10 = 80

800 / (10 - 2) = 100
