Suppose you were a financial analyst trying to compare the performance of two companies. Company A uses the double-declining-balance depreciation method. Company B uses the straight-line method. You have the following information taken from the December 31, 2018, year-end financial statements for Company B: Income Statement Balance Sheet
Assets:
Plant & Equipment, at cost $200,000
Depreciation Expense $10,000 Less: Accumulated Depreciation (20,000)
Total PP&I (Net) $180,000
You also determine that all of the PP&E assets of Company B were acquired at the same time, have the same useful life and the salvage values are zero. In order to compare performance with Company A, estimate what B's depreciation expense would have been for 2018 if the double-declining-balance depreciation method had been used by Company B since the acquisition of the depreciable assets.
a. $20,000
b. $16,200
c. $14,580
d. $18,000

Wanda has graduated from community university (cu) and after nine months has failed to find a job. she graduated with a degree in business, and her college was aacsb accredited. (aacsb accreditation is a specialized accreditation for business schools that evidences a quality program.) in her complaint, she alleges that four years of school and tuition should guarantee a job in the field of study and states that she wants her money back. at no time did cu guarantee job placement, either through express or implied statements. wanda does not disagree with this but still thinks that she was wronged and that it is unfair to graduate and not get a job automatically. cu will be successful in extinguishing wanda's lawsuit if its attorney files a

Any point on a country's production possibilities frontier represents a combination of two goods that an economy:

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers. firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
