Depreciation: Matt bought a new car at a cost of $25,000 Depreciation: Matt bought a new car at a cost of $25,000. The car depreciates approximately 15% of its value each year. a.) What is the decay factor for the value of this car? The decay factor is 1 - 0.15 = 0.85. (Remember that the decay factor is 0 < b < 1.) b.) Write an equation to model the decay value of this car where y is the value of the car; x is the number of years since new purchase c.) What will the car be worth in 10 years? Answer: $4,921.86
