Answer:

Option (b) $12,960

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost = $90,000

Salvage value = $3,600

Useful life = 120,000 miles

Number of miles driven in 2012 = 18,000

Number of miles driven in 2013 = 32,000

Now,

Using the straight line method of depreciation

Rate of annual depreciation = [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Useful life

= [ $90,000 - $3,600 ] ÷ 120,000

= $0.72 per mile

Therefore,

The depreciation expense for 2012

= Rate of annual depreciation × Number of miles driven in 2012

= $0.72 per mile × 18,000

= $12,960

Hence,

Option (b) $12,960

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
posledela

Answer:

D. Should Shut Down

Explanation:

A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .

If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.

However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.

Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.
