Answer:

the worth after 15 years is $7,783.29

Explanation:

Given that

The purchase price is $16,800

It would be depreciated 5% per year

We need to find out the worth after 15 years

= $16,800 × (1 - 0.05)^15

= $16,800 × 0.46329123

= $7,783.29

Hence, the worth after 15 years is $7,783.29

In this way it should be determined
