Explanation:
The price system and I assume you mean the free price system, is very important in an economy. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.
In a free price system, the forces of supply and demand determine prices. The most efficient use of resources is when supply matches demand. Supply and demand are equal when the market determines the price at which a number of goods supplied equals a number of goods demanded. The price system also allows us to buy many products. Manufacturers are willing to make products when they can make money. When supply equals demand, businesses are maximizing the profit potential at the given price level.
One disadvantage of the price system is that for certain products, the costs of setting up the industry are so high, there is only one seller of the product. In cases like these, such as with the electric and the natural gas companies, or with the water companies, without government regulation, prices could be very expensive since they are the only provider of the product. In these cases, the government needs to regulate these industries because the price system would lead to very high prices for water, electricity, and natural gas. Since the setup costs for these industries are so high, there is no competition for these companies. This could cause consumers to make some very difficult choices if the prices are regulated by the government.

Answer:
The depreciation charge in 2021 is $ 164,000.00
Explanation:
Annual depreciation charge=cost-salvage value/useful life
cost is $610,000
salvage value is $61,000
useful life is 9 years
Annual depreciation charge=($610,000-$61,000)/9=$61000
The depreciation of charge of $61000 is applicable to years 2018 ,2019 and 2020 respectively.
The estimates of the asset changed in the year 2021,hence a new depreciation based on the present book value is required.
revised depreciation charge=$610,000-($61,000*3)-$99,000/(5-3)=
$164,000.00
