Question 15 / 21:  Why does Crusoe need to worry about depreciation of his capital goods?
Answer: 

If Crusoe ignores the wearing away of the pole, he will experience

a sudden drop in his consumption. After going to the

trouble of investing in capital goods, Crusoe needs to maintain

them (by investing enough to offset depreciation) if he wants

to remain at his higher standard of living.
