Answer:

B

Explanation:

The value to depreciate is always the total asset value minus the salvage value. In this case, $23,000-$3000=$20,000. The straight line method formula is:

Depreciation  = value to depreciate/useful years

Depreciation (year) = $20,000/5= $4,000

This formula calculates de depreciation expense each year from the purchase date, which means that on septemeber 1 of 2009 the company will register a depreciation expense of $4,000. But, from september 1,2008 to  December 31, 2008 is less than a year we have to calculate the depreciation for each month.

Depreciation (month)= $4,000/12= $333,33

But since that depreciation would be for december 1, we need to calculate the depreciation for each day

Depreciation (day) = $333,33/31 = $10,75

From september 1 to december 1: 3 months, then $333,333 x 3= $1000

And from december 1 to december 31: 30 days, then $10,75 x 30= $322, 58

The depreciation expense on December 31 is: $1000+$322,= $1322,58 that is almost $1,333. On January 1 the depreciation expense would be $1,333.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

there is no deadweight loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Hence, if equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market then, there is no deadweight loss i.e a loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services.
