A manufacturer reckons that the value of a machine, which costs him $Rs.$ $15625$ will depreciate each year by $20 \% .$ Find the estimated value at the end of $5$ years.
A manufacturer reckons that the value of a machine, which costs him $Rs.$ $15625$ will depreciate each year by $20 \% .$ Find the estimated value at the end of $5$ years.
cost of machine $= Rs .15625$
Machine depreciates by $20 \%$ every year.
Therefore, its value after every year is $80 \%$ of the original cost i.e., $\frac{4}{5}$ of the original cost.
$\therefore $ Value at the end of $5$ years $ = 15625 \times \underbrace {\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{5} \times \ldots \times \frac{4}{5}}_{5\,\,\,times} = 5 \times 1024 = 5120$
Thus, the value of the machine at the end of $5$ years is $Rs.$ $5120 .$
