Respuesta :

Answer:

$729

Explanation:

We can calculate the actual cost value by first multiplying the purchase value by the depreciation rate and after that deducting that amount from the replacement cost.

DATA

Replacement value = $1,200

Purchase value = $942

Depreciation rate  = 3 years/6 years = 0.5

Solution

Acutal cost value = Replacement value - ( Purchase value x Depreciation rate)

Acutal cost value = $1200 - ($942 x 0.5)

Acutal cost value = $729
