Question

The purchase value of an office computer is $12,350. Its annual depreciation is $1,930.The value of the computer after 9 years is $

Answer 1

The purchase value of an office compute

Value= 12350

Anuall depreciation = 1930

Value of computer in 9 years t=9

then we can create the formula

`V(t)=12350-1930t`

then

after 9 years the value of the computer is

`V(9)=12350-1930(9)`
`V(9)=12350-17370`
`V(9)=-5020`

since we have a negative value, the minimum value of the computer is 0

then 3

the value after 9 years of the computer is

$0

New question

V=12780

Depreciation=1947

time = 6 years

`V(t)=12780-1947t`
`V(6)=12780-1947(6)`
`V(6)=12780-11682`
`V(6)=1098`

in 6 years The value of the computer is 1098
