- Title
THE THEORY OF DIFFERENTIAL RATES.
- Authors
Watkins, G.P.
- Abstract
The article discusses the theory of differential rates as applied to the electricity supply. The economic foundation for differential rates is the desirability of more fully utilizing a fixed capital investment through the granting of specially low rates to business that can only so be obtained, but fixed capital is seldom or never utilized to its full capacity throughout a specified period, for example, a year. It should be noted that full utilization is a matter of economic technology rather than of finance.
