Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Net investment is the change in the capital stock from one period to the next. For United Delivery, net investment equals 1.5 million - 1.3 million = 200,000. Net investment also equals gross investment minus depreciation, so depreciation equals gross investment minus net investment. Gross investment, the total amount spent on new capital equipment, was 500,000. Net investment was calculated to be 200,000. Therefore depreciation equals 500,000 - 200,000 = 300,000.
