Answer to Question 1

Natural monopolies can be regulated using a marginal cost pricing rule, so that the firm must set its price equal to its marginal cost, or by using an average cost pricing rule, so that the firm must set its price equal to its average total cost. The advantage of the marginal cost pricing rule is that the resulting output is efficient; the disadvantage is that the firm suffers an economic loss. The advantage of the average cost pricing rule is the firm earns zero economic profit; the disadvantage is that it produces an inefficient quantity of output.
