Explanation:
Under the MACRS, computer useful life is 5 years.
The depreciation rate for every year, applying double declining method is: 100% / 5 = 20%. So, depreciation expenses for first year of the computer is calculated as: Cost of the computer x 20% = = 2,000 x 20% = $400.
As the computer is purchased in May, the year 2020 would only account for 7 month out of the first year of depreciation. Thus 2020 depreciation expenses = First year depreciation x 7/12 = 400 x 7/12 = $233.33
Answer: Floating exchange rate
Explanation: The floating exchange rate is a mechanism under which a country's exchange prices are set by the supply and demand-based foreign exchange market compared to other currencies. It compares with a fixed exchange rate, wherein the government decides the rate completely or mainly.
Floating currency regimes mean that lengthy-term currency price movements represent relative economic power and country-to-country rate of interest differences.
A currency that is too high or low may have a negative impact on the country's economy, impacting trade and debt-paying efficiency. The state or banking system would try to take action to bring their currencies towards a more desirable level.
