The demand for silver decreases, other things equal, when the gold market is suddenly expected to boom.

This is the logical consequence of the fact that silver and gold are used as investment commodities to preserve the value of your assets. If market predicts a quick increase in the prices of gold, the market will sell its assets in silver to purchase assets in gold to make a greater profit.

Theâ€‹ short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward because of all of the following reasons except

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

B) in the short run, an unexpected change in the price of an important resource can change the cost to firms.

Explanation:

The short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is upward sloping because as the price of goods and services increases, the quantity supplied will increase. In the short run, wages are more sticky than prices, and businesses can adjust prices more rapidly than employees can get a raise. This will result in businesses increasing their profit margins as the general level of prices increases, therefore the SRAS curve will be upward sloping.

An unexpected change in the price of a key input will shift the entire SRAS curve either to the right (price of key input decreases) or to the left (price of key input increases).

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $ 28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value $ 18.900

Depreciable Basis $ 144,000

Estimated Life 5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine 20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020 780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Estimated life of the asset 5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1) 15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation 2020 $ 65,160

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation $ 97,740

Depreciation @ 40 % $ 39,096
