Expert Answer
In 2014, worth of car = 300000 -[ 300000×(5/100) ] = Rs. 2,85,000
In 2015, worth of car = 285000 - [ 285000×(5/100) ] = Rs. 2,70,750
In 2016, worth of car = 270750 - [ 270750×(5/100) ] = Rs. 2,57,212.50
There is direct formula to calculate the depreciation :- A = P× [ 1 - (r/100) ]n
where A is the final value after n years, P is initial value and r is rate of depreciation
using the above formula, A = 300000×[ 1 - (5/100) ]3 = 300000×(19/20)×(19/20)×(19/20) = Rs. 2,57,212.50
