A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Perfectly competitive market consists of a large number of firms, and each firm is small relative to the entire market. This makes firms unable to set the prices for their goods.

It is the monopoly and oligopoly market structure that is characterised by high entry and exit into the market

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A. The cost of asset being depreciated is $57,000

B.The amount of salvage value is $5,700

Explanation:

Among the above-mentioned methods of depreciation, the only method that never consider salvage value on its computation of depreciation expense is the double declining method. So let’s use this method to work back the exact amount depreciable amount of an asset.

Formula : 100% / life of an asset x 2

100% / 5 x 2 = 40%

Y1 = $22,800/40 = 57,000

so to check if the amount is correct, let’s do the computation of 5-year depreciation.

Y1 57,000 x 40% = 22,800 (same as the given data)

Y2 (57,000 - 22,800) x 40% =13,680

Y3 (57,000 - 22,800 - 13,680) x 40% = 8,208

Y4 (57,000-22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208) x 40% = 4,925

Y5 (57,000 -22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208 - 4,925) x 40% = 1,687* (adjusted based on the depreciable amount)

B. To compute the salvage value, we simply deduct the total depreciation from the cost of an asset.

57,000 - 51,300 = 5,700

To check:

(57,000 - 5,700) / 5 years = 10,260
