Answer:

$2280

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of Air conditioner= $3000.

            Rate of depreciation= 8%

            Number of year= 3 years.

Now, finding the depreciation for 3 years.

Depreciation= [tex]\frac{Cost\ of\ air\ conditioner\times rate\ of\ depreciation\times years}{100}[/tex]

Amount of depreciation= [tex]\frac{\$ 3000\times 8\times 3}{100} = \$ 30\times 24[/tex]

∴ Amount of depreciation in 3 years is $720.

Cost of Air conditioner after 3 years= [tex]Original\ cost - Amount\ of\ depreciation[/tex]

⇒ Cost of Air conditioner after 3 years= [tex]\$ 3000-\$ 720= \$ 2280.[/tex]

Cost of Air conditioner in 3 years is $2280.

Answer:

The cost of air conditioner after 3 years is $2336 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The purchased price of air conditioner = p = $3000

The depreciated rate of air conditioner = r = 8% each year

The time period of depreciation = t = 3 years

Let The cost of air conditioner after 3 years = $A

Now, According to question

The cost of air conditioner after t years = purchased price of air conditioner × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}[/tex]

Or, The cost of air conditioner after 3 years = p × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm t}[/tex]

Or, A = $3000 × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm 8}{100})^{\textrm 3}[/tex]

Or, A = $3000 × (0.92)³

Or, A = $3000 × 0.77868

∴  A = $2336.04

So, The cost of air conditioner after 3 years = A = $2336.04

Hence, The cost of air conditioner after 3 years is $2336 . Answer
