A cap rate is the rate of return you’d expect to receive from a property during the first year of ownership, excluding the cost to improve the property and financing costs. Think of a cap rate as the dividend one would receive in the first year if the property were acquired with all cash. 5. Yardstick or ‘Rate of Return’ Regulation. This is a different way of regulating monopolies to the RPI-X price capping. Rate of return regulation looks at the size of the firm and evaluates what would make a reasonable level of profit from the capital base.

A rate of return regulatory regime can lead to different outcomes when compared to a price or revenue cap. For example, rate of return regulation can limit the incentive on a regulated firm to become more efficient and encourage the firm to

Setting an incentive to pursue a cost effective level of water efficiency, and recover a fair level of Ofwat also has a choice whether to employ individual price caps or tariff basket controls  

Price cap regulation typically has four tenets:. 1. The regulator establishes a set of acceptable prices for the service. The regulated company can sell its services at any price that is equal to or below the price ceiling.The regulator may also set a price floor to discourage anticompetitive pricing, and it might require companies to refund excess profits.

higher cost of capital under price cap regulation and higher operational costs and lower cost of capital under regulation are compared, the costs and benefits associated with each type of regulation are not adequately Lenders behave competitively and are subject to a zero profit constraint; the rate of return expected by  Price cap regulation has been used to control the monopoly behaviour of utility firms 6Laffont (1994) argued that the literature which critiqued rate of return regulation lacked 'a nor max (e3 - e*) [V + /3(1 - E(AJ'J+1))^ '+1] - [^(e3) - ^(e7)].

Price cap regulation is replacing traditional rate of return regulation in a number of jurisdictions.

The Division develops competitive pricing policies and rules for the retail and wholesale interstate rates charged by price-cap carriers and rate-of-return carriers; the intercarrier compensation rates that carriers charge each other; and the rates or rate methodologies for resale of local exchange services, unbundled network elements and

In practice, both rate-of-return regulation and price regulation operate to achieve this. Price-caps are periodically reset to translate past cost reductions into future price reductions, while the regulatory lags under rate-of-return regulation allows utilities to benefit from cost reductions until new rates (regulated prices) are agreed.
