Question
Ms. Cherian purchased a boat for Rs 16000. If the total cost of the boat is depreciating at the rate of 5% per annum, calculate its value after 2 years.
Solution
\[ \Rightarrow 16, 000 \left( 1 - \frac{5}{100} \right)^2 \]
\[ = 16, 000 \left( 0 . 95 \right)^2 \]
\[ = 14, 440\]
Thus, the value of the boat after two years will be Rs 14, 440.
