A motorcycle cost $7,250. If it depreciates by 12% per year, how much will it be worth after one year?

Respuesta :

$6,380 is the answer. ;)

The value of motorcycle after the end of one year will be $6,380.

The depreciation is the reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to the passage of time, wear and tear. It is charged at the end of each year upon the book value of the asset.

There are most commonly three methods to determine depreciation:

  • Diminishing balanced method.
  • Straight-line method.
  • Double declining balanced method.

Computation:

Given,

Cost =$7,250

Rate of depreciation =12%

First the depreciation is computed:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Depreciation}&=\text{Cost}\times\text{Rate of Depreciation}\\&=\$7,250\times12\%\\&=\$870\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now, the worth of motorcycle is computed at the end of one year:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Value of Motorcycle after 1 year}&=\text{Cost\;-\;Depreciation}\\&=\$7,250-\$870\\&=\$6,380\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the worth after one year is $6,380.
