Best answer

Present value, P = Rs.32000 

Time, n = 2 years 

Rate of depreciates, R = 10% per annum 

Now, 

Amount (A) = P (1 + R/100)n [Where, A = Amount with compound interest 

P = Present value 

R = Annual interest rate 

n = Time in years] 

∴ Value = P (1 - R/100)n [∵ Rate decreases] 

= 32000 (1 - 10/100)2 

= 32000 (1 - 1/10)2 

= 32000 (9/10)2 

= 32000 × 9/10 × 9/10 

= 320 × 9 × 9 = 25920 

∴ Value of scooter will be Rs.25920 after 2 years.
