Problema Solution

a boat cost $11,850 and decreases in value by 10% per year. how much will the boat be worth after 8 years.

Answer provided by our tutors

the present value PV = $11,895 we need to find the future value FV after n= 8 years if the interest is i = 10%


FV = PV x (1.00 - i)^n


FV = 11,895(1.00 - 0.10)^8


FV = $5,120.41


after 8 years the boat will be $5,120.41 worth.
