Lexi Carney · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The reason is that the decrease in the asset value doesn't results in equal decrease in the production quantity because these two variable are unrelated and thus have very lower degree of correlation. This means that increase or decrease in market price of the engine will not affect the production quantity by the same amount and thus the statement is incorrect.
