Answer to Problem 45AYU
The book value of the computer will be $2000 after 1year.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Substitute 2000 for
Subtract 3000 from both the sides.
Swap the sides of the equation.
Divide both the sides by − 1000.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the book value of the computer will be $2000 after 1year.
