Explain how and why governments may want to regulate the price setting of a natural monopoly.

1 answer:

7 0

AS natural monopoly could be like emeralds from Colombia say or softwood from British Columbia, Canada whereby there are few competitors that have the product. The government may want to regulate the price of such goods such that it can't be accused of flooding the market on the world market (ie not too low a price) and this could be regulated by trade agreements like NAFTA or may limit the upper price limit to allow more purchasers to buy the product. Personally it is felt that so-called 'free-trade' agreements interfere far too much in the economies of member countries especially junior partners as they encourage the influx of cheap goods from other countries, thus putting out of business or lowering standards for good production within the country and also violating the laws of the country by provisions which overrule the laws normally used to protect goods from the country like import duties for example.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$10,470.57}}$

Explanation:

The monthly payment to pay a loan with constant rate is given by the formula:

$Payment=Loan\times \bigg[\dfrac{r(r+1)^t}{(r+1)^t-1}\bigg]$

Where:

r is the monthly compounded rate and it is equal to the APR (annual percentage rate) divided by 12: r = 5.5%/12 = 0.055/12

t is the number of months: t = 60

Then, you can subsitute with the maximum payment to find the <em>maximun amount you can afford to borrow</em> (loan):

$\$200=Loan\times \bigg[\dfrac{(0.055/12)((0.055/12)+1)^{60}}{((0.055/12)-1)^{60}-1}\bigg]$

$\$200=Loan\times 0.01910116$

$Loan=\$200/0.01910116=\$10,470.57$

Assuming no direct factory overhead costs (i.e., inventory carry costs) and $3 million dollars in combined promotion and sales b

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

they need to limit the material and labor costs to $22.75

Explanation:

given data

combined promotion = $3 million

contribution margin ratio = 35%

Selling price = $35 per unit

to find out

what would they need to limit the material and labor costs to

solution

we get here Contribution margin per unit that is express as

Contribution margin per unit = $35 × 35%

Contribution margin per unit = $12.25 per unit

and Variable cost will be

Variable cost = $35 - $12.25

Variable cost = $22.75 per unit

and we know Variable cost is also express as

Variable cost = Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Direct factory overheads ..............1

here direct factory overheads is 0 and Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs is $22.75

so put in equation 1

Variable cost = $22.75 + 0 = $22.75

so we can say that they need to limit the material and labor costs to $22.75
