Question 1005213: After 4 years a tractor purchased for E58 500 has a resale value of E35 080. Find its annual rate of
depreciation. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We use r for the rate of depreciation, such that (I am assuming that the depreciation is compounded...if not, 15% per year is the answer)
35080 = 58500*(1-r)^4
Solve for r...
(1-r)^4 = .6
1-r = .6^(.25)
1-r = .88
r = .12 = 12%
