Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

The firm is experiencing economies of scale. Economies of scale result in a decreased average cost of production. Production increases and therefore the fixed cost is distributed more and average fixed cost becomes lesser and lesser as output increases. This leads to a decline in average total cost( As average total cost is the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost, therefore a decline in average fixed cost leads to a decline in average total cost). This can be seen by an assymptotic average fixed cost for the firm which experiences economies of scale.

On January 1, Year 1, the Starshina Company paid $25,000 for a photocopier with an estimated useful life of 4 years, and an esti
maksim [4K]

Answer: The amount of depreciation expense for Year 3 is $3,125.

Explanation: The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($25,000 - $5,000) / 4 years = $5,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Under the double-declining method, 100%/4years = 25%, then 25% multiplied by 2 to give 50%

At Year 1, 50% X $25,000 = $12,500

At Year 2, 50% X $12,500 ($25,000 - $12,500) = $6,250

At Year 3, 50% X $6,250 ($12,500 - $6,250) = $3,125 (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).
