Suppose that a computer software company controls the operating system market. although the government knows that the price is higher than it would be in the presence of competition, it believes that such profits are crucial to incentivizing innovation in the high-tech industry, a policy goal of the government.

which of the following policy options might most effectively enable the government to achieve its objectives in this situation?

do nothing at all.

regulate the pricing behavior.

turn the company into a public enterprise.

use the law to increase competition.

Turn the company into a public Enterprise.

Explanation:

Among options, the option to turn the company into a public enterprise is the most viable, thanks to the advantages of Public Enterprises including:

• Charges low prices.

• Provide essential facilities like education, health, free or at reduced prices.

• Ensures efficient control of industry.

• Expert administrative services.

• Money can be made available for R&D

• Private monopoly which would cause high prices is avoided.

• Foreign denominations of the economy are avoided.

In which, “money can be made available for R&D” is critical objective of government.

Do nothing at all.

Explanation:

If a computer company controls a sizable share of the operating system market, then consumers may believe that the lack of choice or competition is harmful. Yet the government may not have enough evidence to act against the company or may be led by politicians who believe in limited government interference in the market or may, as in this case, believe that granting a firm significant market power for a time will benefit the economy as a whole. Any of these situations can lead the government to do nothing at all about a monopoly.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
