Answer:

In appraising, land is never depreciated, as are buildings.

Explanation:

Generally land and buildings are separable assets and are been accounted for separately, even when acquired together.

In the other hand, land asset is not depreciated, because it is considered to have an infinite useful life. This distinctively makes it unique amongst all asset types; it is the only one for which depreciation is prohibited.

Nearly all fixed assets have a useful life, after which they no longer contribute to the operations of a company or they stop generating revenue. During this useful life, they are depreciated, which reduces their cost to what they are supposed to be worth at the end of their useful lives (which is known as salvage value). Land, however, has no definitive useful life, so there is no way to depreciate it.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

C:Oligopolies involve more than one company while monopolies involve only one.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure with one supplier serving a very large market. In a monopoly, a single firm sells to many buyers. The product or service offered by a monopoly has no close substitutes. Customers have no choice but to buy from the only firm providing the product or service. Monopolies may result from government policy or very restrictive barriers of entry.

An oligopoly is a market structure where very few firms dominated the market . It when four or five firms control the majority market share of a very large market. There could be other firms with very little market share. Firms in an oligopoly market may sell homogeneous or differentiated products. The few firms dominating the industry collaborate to profit from the market.
