In which option is capital stock most likely to fall?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gross investment 50 and depreciation 90
Capital stock is likely to fall when net investment is negative, meaning depreciation exceeds gross investment. In option C, net investment = 50 − 90 = −40. Option B gives zero net investment, so capital is maintained, while A and D give positive net investment and indicate growth. Hence option C shows the clearest decline in the capital stock.
