Answer:
Government policymakers decided to reduce the rate of inflation from 3% to 1.6%. As a result, the unemployment rate increased from 4.8% to 6.2%. The sacrifice ratio is:______
d. none of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old inflation rate = 3%
New inflation rate = 1.6%
Old unemployment rate = 4.8%
New unemployment rate = 6.2%
Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625
Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258
Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)
b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.

What is depreciation expense?</h3>
- Depreciation expense is the cost of a depreciated asset for a specific period, and it reveals how much of the asset's value was used up in that year.
- Accumulated depreciation is the entire amount of depreciation expense given to an asset since it was placed in service.
- A business spends $84,000 on new display racks with a useful life of 7 years (84 months) and no residual value.
- The corporation would most likely choose a straight-line depreciation technique, which would result in a $1,000 monthly depreciation expenditure ($84,000/84 months = $1,000 per month).
The straight-line technique of calculating depreciation expense is given below:
- = (Original cost - salvage value) ÷ (useful life)
- = ($173,000 - $8,600) ÷ (10 years)
- = ($164,400,000) ÷ (10 years)
- = $16,440
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life.
Now for the 7 months, the depreciation expense would be:
- = $16,440 × 7 months÷ 12 months
- = $9,590
Therefore, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.
