You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the motorcycle depreciates 5% every year, then it is only worth 95% of what it was the previous year. So:
V=8000 x (.95)^5
V=8000 x 0.7737809375=$6190.2475 as the value of the bike after 5 years. ☺☺☺☺
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No way to know.
