a company purchases a generator to deal with loadshedding at R20000. the depreciated value of the computer after two years is R12000, the depreciated value after four years if r4000. Value that represent the depreciation of the computer for any number of years. determine when the value of the computer will be zero
Added by Eddie B.
Step 1
After two years, the value of the generator depreciated from R20000 to R12000, which is a decrease of R8000. This means the generator depreciates at a rate of R8000 every two years, or R4000 per year. After four years, the value of the generator is R4000. This Show more…
