Answer:

11.87 ~ 11.9years

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for calculating depreciated value is:

A = P(1 - R/100)^n

Where A= Depreciated value of equipment after n years($50,000)

P = Initial cost of equipment($300,000)

R = Depreciated rate of equipment per annum (14%)

n = number of years (n)

Next, we insert the figures into the formula

50000 = 300000 (1 - 14/100)^n

Divide both sides by 300000

5/30 = (1- 14/100)^n

0.167 = (1 - 0.14)^n

0.167 = (0.86)^n

Add log to both sides

log 0.167 = (n)log 0.86

Divide both sides by log 0.86

n = log 0.167/log 0.86

n = 11.866

Therefore, it can be estimated that it will take approximately 11.9years for the initial cost to depreciate to $50,000

Answer:

11.9\ years  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$300,000\\r=14\%=14/100=0.14\\V=\$50,000

substitute the values and solve for x

50,000=300,000(1-0.14)^{x}  

(50,000/300,000)=(0.86)^{x}  

(5/30)=(0.86)^{x}  

Apply log both sides

log(5/30)=(x)log(0.86)  

x=log(5/30)/log(0.86)  

x=11.9\ years
