Tasya [4]

Answer:

B) Debit to accumulated depreciation for $22,500.

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

Depreciation under straight line method for each year = ($45,000 - $5,000)/8 = $5,000 for each year.

Depreciation for 4 years = $5,000 $\times$ 4 = $20,000

Depreciation in 5th year for 6 months = $5,000/2 = $2,500

Total depreciation till 1 July Year 5 = $20,000 + $2,500 = $22,500

Carrying value of equipment in books as on date of sale = $45,000 - $22,500 = $22,500

Sale price = $20,000

Profit or loss on sale of equipment = $20,000 - $22,500 = - $2,500

So therefore, there is loss of $2,500

Thus, option c and option d are invalid.

Further cash received on sale is debited and not credited thus, option a is also invalid.

As the total accumulated depreciation = $22,500

The correct entry will include debit to accumulated depreciation of $22,500.

Thus, option b is correct.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Real purchasing power increase= 2.16%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You deposit $1,900 in your savings account that pays an annual interest rate of 3.25%. The inflation rate is 1.09%.

In this example, we have two different and opposite effects. The interest rate increases your purchasing power. If the inflation rate is 0, the purchasing power will increase (in one year) 3.25%.

The inflation rate decreases the purchasing power of nominal income.

Real purchasing power increase= annual interest rate - inflation rate

Real purchasing power increase= 3.25 - 1.09= 2.16%

How van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)

Sladkaya [172]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.

Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.

Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.

The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.

When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.
