Question 54813
A new car depreciates by 20% in its first year. Each succeding year it depreciates by 10%. Assume the car is still in good work condition after 10 years. If the car cost $25000 calculate the value of the car after 10 years. Express your answer to the nearest $10
----------
Value = (25000(0.8))(0.9)^9=$7,748.41
The 1st year its value is .8 of the original
Then each successive year the value is .9 times the
previous years value.
