Answer:

The natural monopoly will have incentives for efficiency and innovation

Explanation:

Monopoly my be defined as taking or having an excessive control or charge over the trade of a particular commodity or product or the control over the supply of a particular product on the market by one particular group or person.

In the context, the cost-plus approach requires the monopoly in order to change the price which includes normal return to the average cost. So the monopolist does not have any incentive for innovating efficient technology so as to reduce its cost. Thus we can promote innovation and efficiency by not using the cost plus policy.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:  The cost recovery deduction for 2019 for these assets is $43000.

Explanation:

New business asset (five year property) purchased March 10, 2019 = $30000

New business asset (seven year property) purchased on November 20, 2019 = $13000

Additional depreciation of the first year is referred as the bonus depreciation.

Also, bonus depreciation in the year 2019 is at 100% of the value of assets bought during this year.

∴ Total assets value = New business asset (five year property) + New business asset (seven year property)

= $30000 + $13000

= $43000

Hence, the cost recovery deduction for 2019 for these assets is $43000.
