Answer: The correct answers are "The general level of stock prices" and "The effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation".
Explanation: The general level of stock prices and the effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation are outside from firm's control because although companies have knowledge of the market, the general level of stock prices is not controlled by them, but by the market. And the effect of the tax rate is not controlled by companies because the tax rate is set by the state.
<span>Reduction in a nation's labor force would long-run aggregate supply curse to the left, representing a reduction in labor. This would tend to drive up labor costs over time. Presumably, the demand curve would remain static in the short-term.
However, such a reduction would also impact the nation's consumption and thereby reduce the demand for products. This would in turn drive a decreased demand for labor (leftward shift) and apply downward pressure to wages.
The answer to this depends on whether the questions is regarding short-term, medium-term or long-term labor supply/demand curve.</span>

Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset based on estimates. It is given as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $23,040 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,600
Annual depreciation = ($23,040 - $1,600)/8
= $2,680
After 4 years
Accumulated depreciation = 4 × $2,680
= $10,720
The net book value then
= $23,040 - $10,720
= $12,320
Since the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value
New depreciation = ($12,320 - $1,600)/2
= $5,360
The depreciation expense in year 5 equals $5,360
