Answer:

Sheridan Co.

a. It is not necessary to correct the prior year's depreciation.  Depreciation is an accounting estimate and does not require the adjustment of prior year's accounts when there is a correction in its estimates.

b. Entry to record depreciation for 2021:

Debit Depreciation Expense $4,387

Credit Accumulated Depreciation $4,387

To record the depreciation expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase of machinery in 2016 = $64,200

Original estimated useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $4,280

Depreciation amount = $59,920 ($64,200 - $4,280)

Depreciation expense per year = $7,490 ($59,920/8)

Accumulated depreciation for 5 years = $37,450

Net book value = $26,750 ($64,200 - $37,450)

Remaining estimated useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = $4,815

New depreciable amount = $21,935 ($26,750 - $4,815)

Depreciation expense per year = $4,387 ($21,935/5)

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: oligopoly.

Explanation:

A market structure where there are only a few firms is called an oligopoly market. These firms can be producing either identical products or differentiated products.  

Because of few firms, there is a high degree of competition in the market. The firms are price makers and face a downward sloping curve.  

There is interdependence in the market such that the economic decisions of a firm affects the price, profits and output level of its rivals. So the firms have to consider the reaction of its rivals before making an economic decision.
