Question 71944: Suppose you bougt a car in mid-2006 for 10,000. If its value in current dollars depreciates steadily at 12% per year, what will its value in current dollars be in mid-2009 Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A DEPRECIATION OF 12% IS THE SAME AS A REDUCED VALUE OF 88% OR .88 THUS:
{[10000*.88].88}.88
{[8800*.88].88}
{7744*.88)
6814.72 IS THE VALUE AFTER 3 YEARS OF A 12% PER YEAR DEPRECIATION.
