Question

At the start of the year, your firm's capital stock equaled $10 million, and at the end of the year it equaled $15 million. The average depreciation rate on your capital stock is 20%. Net investment during the year equaled:________

a. $7 million
b. $4 million
c. $5 million
d. $3 million

Answer 1

c. $5million

Step-by-step explanation:

Net investment = Gross investment - Depreciation

Net investment = $15million - $10million

Net investment = $5million

Therefore, net investment during the year equals $5million
