Answer:Increase

Explanation:The demand will increase as these two companies exit the market because the competition has been reduced as the demand increases this will caus the equilibrium price to increase. People will be demanding more chips only from the three companies that will be remaining.They will have to supply more in return to that demand because the competition has been cut.

Answer: C. Increase

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure in which a few firms dominate. When a market is shared between a few firms, it is said to be highly concentrated. Although only a few firms dominate, it is possible that many small firms may also operate in the market.

Where few firms dominate the equilibrium price will increase because the demand will be high, and this will make the equilibrium price increase.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$6,666.67 and $10,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)  

= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= $10,000

Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months

Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is

= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months

= $6,666.67

And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000
