A local electric utility provider is a considered by regulators to be a natural monopoly. It has fixed costs of $100 million and a constant marginal cost of $0.25 per KWH. Its demand curve is linear: ?=160−0.00001? where ? is the price per KWH and Q is the quantity demanded by consumers in KWH per year. a. Confirm that this utility provider is a natural monopoly. [HINT: It might be helpful to use Excel for this exercise.] b. Find the...
