• value at da end of 1st yr is 40000-40000*3/4=10000
  10000 is da nw value of 2nd yr
  so at da end of 2nd yr value will be 10000-10000*3/4=2500
  same at the end of 3rd yr value will be 2500-2500*3/4=625 ans

• 625 is right
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
• start of year 40,000
  end of the 1st yr =3/4 decline
  40,000*3/4=30000
  40000-30000=10000
  nw amount is 10000 at starting 2nd yr ;nw 10000*3/4=7500
  at end 10000-7500=2500;3rd yr 2500*3/4=1875 so end of 3rd yr it wil be 2500-1875=625 ans=625
