A new car is purchased for $17,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 3 years. What is the value of the car 1

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is "$238".

Step-by-step explanation:

Current worth $= \$ 17,000$

depreciates by $\frac{1}{2}$ in 3 years.

time= 19 years

depreciates rate=?

Using formula:

$\to \text{Worth= Current worth}(1- \frac{\text{depreciates rate}}{100})^{time}$

$\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t$

calculates depreciate value in 3 year $= \frac{1}{2} \times 17,000$

$= 8,500$

so,

$A_t=8,500\\\\A_0=17,000\\\\t=3\ years$

$\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t\\\\\to 8,500= 17,000(1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{8,500}{17,000}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{1}{2}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}= (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to 0.793700526 = (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.793700526)\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.8)\\\\\to r= 0.2 \times 100 \\\\\to r= 20 \%$
