Answer:

option (A) $29,920

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Purchasing cost = $40,000

Estimated life = 6 years

Salvage value = $4,000

Estimated driving life = 100,000

Vehicle driven in total till 2020 = 10,000 + 18,000 = 28,000

Now,

Using the units-of-production depreciation method

Total depreciation till 2020 = \frac{\textup{Purchasing cost - Salvage value}}{\textup{Estimated driving life}}\times\textup{Total distance driven}

or

Total depreciation till 2020 = \frac{\textup{40,000 - 4,000}}{\textup{100,000}}\times\textup{28,000}

or

Total depreciation till 2020 = $10,080

Thus,

Book value on December 31, 2020 = Purchasing cost - Depreciation

= $40,000 - $10,080

= $29,920

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) $29,920

Differentiate between the short run and Long run?​
kramer

Answer:

Short-run is a time limit during which at least one input can be fixed and other input quantities can be verified.

The long run is a time period in which all the inputs can be verified in quantities.

Explanation:

  • Both the fixed and variable costs occur in the short term.
  • There are no fixed costs in the long term.
  • The combination of the output of a company results in the desired amount of the goods at the lowest possible cost is sustained by efficient long-term costs.
  • The output changes variable costs. For instance, the employee's salaries and raw material costs are variable costs.

  • Based on variable costs and the production rate, the short-run costs are increasing or falling. If a company manages its short-term costs well over time, the desired long-term costs and goals will more likely be achieved.

To reduce the level of pollution emitted by firms in an industry, the government could use a cap and trade policy or a carbon ta
bija089 [108]

Option D is true, the price of the good sold will rise under either policy and there will be a reduction in the level of production

Explanation:

Carbon-free is an effective way, even though the economy puts a monetary price above it and gives a value to the actual cost. Since the pollutant price is still in place, polluters are motivated to reduce pollution and to decide how far the gasses are produced.

In comparison, the restriction or cap on pollution can be published from industry by the cap-and-trade system. This limit is decreased in many cases after the pollution goal is met. If this is the case, the law requires polluters to buy the remaining quota from others with low emissions and generate more than the allotted quota.

Both methodologies will increase the cost of the good generated because it is distortionary. Production should however be decreased because of the control of pollution.
