Answer to Question 1

The statement is correct. Net investment equals gross investment minus depreciation. If depreciation is larger than gross investment, net investment will be negative. Net investment is the change in the capital stock, and so the company's capital stock decreases. Essentially, because depreciation is larger than the company's gross investment, the company is not buying enough capital to replace the capital that depreciated. As a result, the total amount of the company's capital decreases.

Answer to Question 2

C
