Q:

The value of a machine depreciates at the rate of 10% every year. It was purchased 3 years ago. If its present value is Rs. 8,748, its purchase price was ?

A) Rs.14,000 B) Rs.12,000
C) Rs. 12,800 D) Rs. 15,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.12,000

Explanation:

We have P = 8748, R = -10 and n = 3
Therefore, the purchase price of the machine
= P1+R100n= 87481-101003
= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)
= 12,000.

 

Therefore, the purchase price of the machine was Rs. 12,000.
