Oligopolies exist because of barriers to entry. One of the most important barriers to entry is due to economies of scale when it exists, the industry is more likely to be an oligopoly than a competitive one.

A market structure known as an oligopoly occurs when a few large sellers or manufacturers control a sizable portion of a market or an entire sector. Oligopolies are frequently the outcome of corporate collaboration as a way to increase profits. Because of the decreased competition, customers will pay more and workers will earn less.

In an oligopoly, there must be some entry barriers to allow businesses to capture a sizable portion of the market. These obstacles could be economies of scale or brand loyalty. Entry barriers, however, are lower than monopolies.

Several oligopoly-enabling circumstances have been noted. First off, there aren't many big companies in an oligopolistic market. This feature sets oligopoly apart from monopoly, in which there is only one entity.

To learn more about oligopoly refer to:

Marks Consulting purchased equipment costing $45,000 on January 1, Year 1. The equipment is estimated to have a salvage value of
Tasya [4]

Answer:

B) Debit to accumulated depreciation for $22,500.

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

Depreciation under straight line method for each year = ($45,000 - $5,000)/8 = $5,000 for each year.

Depreciation for 4 years = $5,000 \times 4 = $20,000

Depreciation in 5th year for 6 months = $5,000/2 = $2,500

Total depreciation till 1 July Year 5 = $20,000 + $2,500 = $22,500

Carrying value of equipment in books as on date of sale = $45,000 - $22,500 = $22,500

Sale price = $20,000

Profit or loss on sale of equipment = $20,000 - $22,500 = - $2,500

So therefore, there is loss of $2,500

Thus, option c and option d are invalid.

Further cash received on sale is debited and not credited thus, option a is also invalid.

As the total accumulated depreciation = $22,500

The correct entry will include debit to accumulated depreciation of $22,500.

Thus, option b is correct.
