Answer: Economic choices result in trade-offs.
Explanation:
The chart simply purports to show that when making economic decisions, you will have to accept trade-offs because resources are not infinite.
For instance, in order to expand, you will need to take on more financial risk. In that same vein, in order to serve more people, you will have to divide time between two stalls and might end up closing a stall.
Trade-offs simply have to be made.
Answer:
b. $16,700
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($98,500 - $15,000) ÷ (5 years)
= ($83,500) ÷ (5 years)
= $16,700
The original cost is computed below:
= Original cost of machinery + freight charges + cost of building a foundation and installing the machinery
= $85,000 + $3,500 + $10,000
= $98,500
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
