Answer:

The journal entry to correct this error would be:

Debit : Retained Earnings $86,000

Credit : Machine $86,000

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation using the formula :

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life

thus,

Annual Depreciation expense = $430,000 ÷ 5

                                                   = $86,000

To correct the error :

Reduce the Retained Earnings amount (<em>were depreciation expense lies</em>) and Reduce the Asset Balance (<em>a fall in value</em>) with the amount of depreciation.

Irrational decisions refer to those decisions which are not taken after enough deliberation, ignore the rationale, facts and logic, are rather decided out of whim and impulse and usually instantly decided.

In the given case, Joe was not willing to pay more than $500 cash yet eventually ended up paying $600. Even if the $25 gift card is considered, he ended up paying $575 which is more than he had decided to pay.

The choice of the consumer here is not rational or rather irrational since, he without considering other alternatives or exercise of judgement, without evaluating his costs, impulsively opted for the credit card lured by $25 gift card.

As per the economic theory, Joe's decision would be referred to as irrational.
