The Upjohn Company purchased new packaging equipment with an estimated useful life of five years. The cost of the equipment was $55,000, and the salvage value was estimated to be $5,000 at the end of year 5. Compute the annual depreciation expenses over the five-year life of the equipment under each of the following methods of book depreciation:a. Straight-line methodb. Double-declining-balance method

a). Straight line method = $10,000. b). Double declining balance method = $20,000.

Explanation: Depreciation is the weat and tear of an asset over the useful life. There are several methods of depreciation. They include; straight line method, double-declining method, units of production method and so on.

Straight line method = (cost - salvage value)/ useful life

= (55000 - 5000)/5 = 50000/5

= $10,000

Double-declining balance method = straight line method × 2

= $10,000 × 2

= $20,000

our agriculture industry and our business industry

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
