Answer:

£707.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Price= £800

Rate= 4%

Time= 3 years

Let us apply the compounding formula

A=P(1-r)^r-------------Note the negative sign is because of depreciation

substitute

A= 800(1-0.04)^3

A= 800(0.96)^3

A=800*0.884736

A= £707.8

Hence the value will be £707.8
