Respuesta :

The formula for the final value of an object after n years with decrease in cost at rate of r% per year is,

[tex]FV=IV(1-\frac{r}{100})^n[/tex]

Determine the relation between initial value and final value of car.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 7,790=20,000(1-\frac{21}{100})^n \\ 7,790=20,000(0.79)^n \end{gathered}[/tex]

Last option is correct.
