Answer:
<u>Predatory pricing</u>
Explanation:
A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.
Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.
Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.
In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the first two years is $72,000.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (Cost - Residual value) / No of years = ($400,000 - $40,000) / 10 years = $36,000 yearly depreciation expense.
Using this method, the depreciation expense for the first two years is $36,000 x 2 years = $72,000. This amount is regarded as the accumulated depreciation at the end of Year 2 while the net book value would be $400,000 - $72,000 = $328,000.

The bureau of labor statistics calculates the data regarding the unemployment rate in the US economy. It calculates the unemployment rate as the ratio of total unemployed to the total labor force.
Those people who are having a job or business and are working for profit or those who are currently unemployed and looking for jobs are included in the labor force. Students, retirees, and discouraged workers are not included in the labor force.
Here, Christopher is neither working for profit nor looking for work so he will not be considered unemployed or in labor force.
