At the beginning of 2015, Mazzaro Company acquired equipment costing $170,800. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $17,080 at that time. The straight-line method of depreciation was considered the most appropriate to use with this type of equipment. Depreciation is to be recorded at the end of each year. During 2017 (the third year of the equipment’s life), the company’s engineers reconsidered their expectations, and estimated that the equipment’s useful life would probably be 7 years (in total) instead of 6 years. The estimated salvage value was not changed at that time. However, during 2020 the estimated salvage value was reduced to $5,000. Indicate how much depreciation expense should be recorded each year for this equipment, by completing the following table.

Draw and carefully describe a graph that utilizes the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply model that would illustrate the state of the aggregate economy in the United States as of February 1, 2020. Make sure that you explain your graph in your own words. You should draw your own AD/AS graph which you can then embed into your post. Your graph needs to be clearly labeled and explained in some detail. Make sure that your graph includes an aggregate demand (AD) curve, a short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve, and a long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, Potential GDP) curve. You should clearly label both axes of the graph
The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in shocks to both Short Run Aggregate Supply(SRAS) and Aggregate Demand. Workers that can’t go to work can’t supply goods and services. On your graph clearly illustrate the effects of the shocks to the economy through shifts in both the aggregate demand (AD) and the short run aggregate supply curve (SRAS)
How would you expect the shifts to affect real GDP and the price level? Explain how and why the spread of the Coronavirus is likely to affect consumer and business investment spending and how it will affect aggregate demand? Which sectors of the economy and occupations will be most affected? Be specific.
