What is depreciation?

Depreciation in economics is a measure of the amount of value an asset loses from influential factors affecting its market value.

Given that, in 1960 the average price of a new car was $2752. Between 1960 and 2022 car prices have decreased by an average of 4.6% per year.

We need to calculate the average price of a new car in 2022​

The question is depreciated price of the car,

Depreciated price =

A = P(1-r)ⁿ

A = final amount

P = initial amount

r = 4.6%

n = time

Here, the time = 2022 - 1960 = 62 years

Therefore,

A = 2752(1-0.046)⁶²

A = 2752(0.954)⁶²

A = 148.47

Hence, the depreciated price of the car in the year 2022 is $148.47
