Answer :

Tritan purchased a new car in 2000 for $22,800. The value of the car ha been depreciating exponentially at a constant rate then the Cost of the car in year 2016 will be $2811.

Cost price of the car = $22800

Value of the car has been depreciating exponentially, so the formula for value   of the car after t years,

Here P(t) = Final value after t years

A = Cost price or initial value

r = rate of depreciation

t = duration in years

r = 100(1 - 0.87737)

r = 12.26%

Now cost of the car in year 2016 (After 16 years)

P(16)  = 2810.99

       = $2811

Therefore, cost of the car in year 2016 will be $2811.
