Answer:

The externality that affected me was the U.S. recession of 2018.  

Explanation:

The externality is the term that refers to a variation in a outside factor that end up affecting persons involve in a business that is not related directly to the outside factor that changed.

1. The 2008 recession made harder for me to get a job in the restaurant sector even though the prices of the restaurants and hotels continued to be the same, many person have to cut their expenditure in tourism as the recession significantly impacted the financial institutions and many persons were laid off from their jobs which decreased consumption.  

2. The effects of the recession were: increase in the unemployment, decrease in the consumption, increase in foreclosures.  

3. I experienced decrease in my quality of life as it was harder for me to keep a job for a long time. Most of jobs were part time therefore it was a time where I have to live on my savings.

4. Pollution is best reduced if companies take conscience of the fact that they have a greater impact on the environment than individuals. This will lead to better business practices in the manage of residuals and raw materials.  

5. A positive externality can create a bubble in the prices and overestimate the actual value of an asset e.g. cryptocurrencies bubble was a positive effect for some investor that really knew the value of this securities but in the long run it created a bubble and people that did not know about cryptocurrencies invested and lost most of their money.

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000
