Answer: b. increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

With the high capital costs having enabled decreasing average costs for any conceivable level of demand, the company would be making an increasing returns to scale which means that it would be making more return per capital spent.

This will create a natural monopoly because the company will be more efficient in this particular industry and if another company tried to come in, they would have to spend a lot of money to get to a point of increasing returns to scale.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is a unit under the US department of labor. It is tasked with collecting information on the labor market, prices, and productivity and provide statistical data on its basis.  

The unemployment rate is calculated on the basis of data collected through a monthly survey called the current population survey.

The part of the adult population which is either working or do not have a job but are actively looking for one are included in labor force. Discouraged workers or those who are unemployed but not looking for jobs actively are not included.

Unemployed homemakers are not counted as employed, they are not included in the labor force either. They are considered out of the labor force as they do not have a job and are not looking for one.  

All full time and part-time workers are counted as employed.

Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs
