Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Initial value of the car = $12,500
  • Rate of Depreciation = 13% per year
  • New value (after depreciation) = $6,250 (half the initial value)

We are required to determine the time taken for the value of the car to depreciate to half the original value.

  • We need to know the depreciation formula;
  • New value = Initial value ( 1 - r/100)^n

Therefore;

$6,250 = $12,500(1 - r/100)^n

0.5 = (1 - 13/100)^n

0.5 = 0.87^n

Introducing log on both sides;

log 0.5 = n log 0.87

Therefore;

n = log 0.5 ÷ log 0.87

  = 4.977

  = 5 years

Therefore, it takes 5 years for the value of the car to depreciate to half the initial value.

const2013 [10]

The worth of the bond is $307.50.

<h3>What is the worth of the bond?</h3>

The worth of the bond is the sum of the bond when it was bought and the interest earned on the bond.

Worth of the bond = interest rate + value when the bond was bought

Interest = 105% x $150

1.05 x $150 = $157.70

Worth of the bond = $157.70 + $150 = $307.50

8 identical pens cost £12 work out the cost of 10 of these pens
katen-ka-za [31]

Ok. So, if 8 pens cost £12. Then we would divide £12 by 8. Each pen costs £1.5.

So now we are going to multiply £1.5 and 10. £1.5*10=15.

The total of 10 pens is £15.

I hope this helps, if you need any additional help, just ask. I am here to help you as needed.
