Problema Solution

A color photocopier is purchased for $4800. its value each year is about 70% of its value in the preceding year. Its value after t years is given by the exponential function V(t)=4800(0.07)^t.

a) Find the salvage value of the copier after 3 yr.

b) After what amount of time will the salvage value be $1200.

c) After what amount of time will the salvage be half the original value?

Answer provided by our tutors

a) v(3)=4800*0.07*3=1008

b)1200=4800*0.07*t

t is approximately 3.57 years

c) 4800/2 = 4800*0.07*t

t= 1/0.14 =7.1428

thanx for purchasing it
