Natural monopoly firms are often regulated so that they can only charge prices set by
the authorities. Under one approach, prices are based on the monopolist’s costs so that for any given quantity of sales, the monopolist can only set prices equal to its average costs.

1. Why might regulators believe that forcing the monopoly to charge a price equal to average cost is a good outcome? Does this price regulation maximise social welfare? What problems do you see with this form of price regulation?

2. Suppose the monopolist can undertake innovation that will lower its average cost. If the monopolist faces average-cost price regulation, does it face strong or weak incentives to innovate? Explain your answer.

3. An alternative to average-cost price regulation is to set a ‘price cap’ for the natural monopoly firm. With a price cap, the regulator does not adjust the regulated price as soon as monopolist’s costs change but keeps the same regulated prices for a number of years. It is argued that price- cap regulation encourages innovation. Do you agree with this and why?

FARS Research Case

VTech is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software development corporation that specializes in providing technological solutions for firms to better manage their businesses. Being in the technology industry, research, and development (R&D) is one of the largest expenditures. For example, in the second quarter of the fiscal year 2020 alone, VTech’s internal books reveal that the company has generated the following R&D expenditures directly attributable to the software they plan to develop and sell:

- Incurred $5,000,000 as an effort to establish technological feasibility of an ERP software

- Incurred $3,000,000 in production costs, after they had decided that the software is a viable product

In addition to the development of software for sale, VTech also developed specialized software that will help with their internal accounts payable system. During the fiscal quarter, the company spent $1,000,000 on the software which will be for internal use only and not for resale.

An accounting intern at the firm approaches you, the senior manager, and asked for your advice on how to properly record and recognize these expenditures. Should the firm treat all the expenditures the same? Differently?

The time and cost required to manufacture its product R&D costs were $120,000. The process was patented. On July 1, 2016. Legal costs and fees to require the patent totaled $12,500. Browen estimated the useful life of the patent at 10 years.

On July 1,2018, Browen sold the nonexclusive right to use the new process to Kennedy Company for $90,000. Because Bowen retained the patent, the agreement allows Kennedy to use, but not sell, the new technology for a period of 5 years. But Bowen Company and Kennedy Company have December 31 fiscal years.

On July 1, 2020, another competitor obtained a patent on a new process that made Browen's patent obsolete.

1) How should Bowen Company account for the R&D costs and legal costs incurred to obtain the patent? Show the effects of these entries using the financial statement effects template, prepare the appropriate journal entries necessary to account for the costs incurred in 2016, and psot the entries to T-accounts

Splish Brothers Inc. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,800,000. It received a down payment of $560,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,240,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,240,000 of 10-year, 10.5% bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2020, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 10% to the investor and have an effective interest rate to the issuer of 10.4053%. (There is an increased effective interest rate due to the capitalization of the bond issue costs.) Any additional funds that are needed to complete the project will be obtained from local businesses. Splish Brothers Inc. paid and capitalized $56,000 in bond issuance costs related to the bond issue. Splish Brothers prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

1- Using (1) factor tables, (2) a financial calculator, or (3) Excel function PV, calculate the value of the bonds and prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2020.

2- Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2025, using the effective interest method.

3- Assume that on July 1, 2023, the company retires half of the bonds at a cost of $1,193,000 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entries to record this retirement.
