Equipment was acquired on January 1, 2021, for $33,000 with an estimated four-year life and $2,000 residual value. The company u

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Gain= $850

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $33,000

Useful life= 4 years

Residual value= $2,000

Sale= $10,600.

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (33,000 - 2,000)/4= $7,750

Now, we can calculate the accumulated depreciation:

Accumulated depreciation= 7,750*3= $23,250

To calculate the gain or loss, we need to use the following formula:

Gain/loss= selling price - book value

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 33,000 - 23,250= $9,750

Gain/loss= 10,600 - 9,750

Gain= $850

If the same number of units of good Y must be given up as each successive unit of good X is produced, then the PPF for these two

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line

Explanation:

PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.

Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.

∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained

If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line

Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]

0 20 _

10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)

20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)

So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.

However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

sell the stock which will drive it's expected return even lower.

Explanation:

An investor wants to be compensated for the risk undertaken in the form of return. When investors believe that a stock is not providing sufficient return, such stocks would be sold by the investor.

When a stock is not performing well i.e it's current market price goes down, all the investors holding that stock will sell it , leading to it's market price going further down.

Since the market price goes further down, the expected return on such a stock would further decline.
