Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cullumber Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $90,880. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $8,640. 8 Year life.

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (90,880 - 8,640)/8= $10,280

2017= 10,280/12*3= $2,570

2018= $10,280

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

if i need to borrow money for anything, it would be for something like a house or an apartment but, that depend on the situation.

is this good enough?
