Answer:

Shut down

Explanation:

The minimum possible average variable cost is $3.50.

Variable cost represent the amount of cost that incurred every time the company produce one product.

The market price of the product is $3.

From this data alone, we can conclude that no matter how good the company's strategy to sell the product, it is impossible for the company to obtain profit. Since the cost of producing one product will always exceed the amount of profit that the company can obtain.

Closing down the operation or transitioning to other product will be the best option for the company.

The amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.

<h3>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.
