Answer:

The correct answer is: No, this situation is impossible.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the reality the situation with the demand curve is all the opposite. The <em>law of demand</em> establishes that there is an indirect relationship between the price of a product and its quantity demanded in the market, therefore that when the price of a good increases then its quantity demanded decreases. And it is by logic as well, because no one will buy more of something if the products is more expensive than it was before. Therefore that the situation in the text is impossible and it could only be opposite.

= 4000 per year

Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= 4000× 3 = 12,000

Revised depreciation = (25,000 -12,000 - 2500)/2

=$5250 per year

Amount of depreciation expense for year 4 =$5250
