Assume that the general contractor during the contract bidding phase notices a critical element of the wall section detail for the building is omitted. Further assume, the general contractor knows that the missing element is necessary for a successful project, required by code and will increase the cost of the project. The general contractor with knowledge of the error fails to disclose it or raise any question or request for information and bids the project believing they will be entitled to a hefty change order by raising it later. Explain how the law, ethics and morality combined with the terms of the AIA A201 General conditions should treat the General Contractor’s request for a change order for the cost of installing the missing element.

Monopoly Discussion Total Revenue and Elasticity:
The total revenue test shows that the monopolist will avoid
the inelastic segment of its demand schedule. As long as demand is
elastic, total revenue will rise when the monopoly lowers its
price, but this will not be true when demand becomes
inelastic.

Answer the following question ensuring that you apply economic principles or theory related to the concepts of benefits, costs and market structure in which a firm operates to inform your analysis and support your decisions. Communicate your ideas with correct grammar, spelling and writing style and support your answer with diagrams and illustrative examples as necessary.
Question-- Identify, from media reports on Australian industry, an example of a firm that has significant monopoly power. Identify the inefficiencies in outcomes that arise, or would arise, if the firm was free to exercise that power. Finally, explain how government intervention is used, or may be used, to curb that power and provide a more efficient outcome for the economy.
Presentation
Answers should be typed and diagrams must be clear and neat and
preferably drawn electronically. Hand-drawn diagrams are
acceptable. Sources used in your answer should be fully referenced
in APA 6th style. The answer to the question should be divided into
three parts:
Part 1: Introduction
The introduction sets up your response by succinctly stating
your understanding of the issues, what you think is the best way to
analyse the situation – including choice of theory and sources of
evidence, what type of findings you expect and what potential
applications you expect there to be.
Part 2: Analysis
The analysis will represent the bulk of your work. Here you will
provide your answer in detail by drawing upon the literature, the
theory and the evidence to come up with an answer to the question
posed. You may find that you want to break this section up into a
number of sub-parts – one for a detailed discussion of the issues
including your non-technical response, one for a detailed analysis
of the tools of analysis you will use (theory), one for your
extensive consideration of the evidence, one where you draw
together your information and findings along with their
implications.
Part 3: Conclusion
In the conclusion you briefly and succinctly review what you have
done in answer to the question and indicate what further issues
there might be to be considered.
