Let be the purchase value of an equipment and be the value after it has been used for years. The value depreciates at a rate given by differential equation where is a constant and is the total life in years of the equipment. Then the scrap value of the equipment is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Given differential equation
The value of the equipment satisfies
Also, at time , the purchase value is
-
Integrate the differential equation
We have
Integrating with respect to :
So,
-
Use the initial condition
Since ,
Hence,
-
Find the scrap value
Put :
-
Match with the options
which is Option A.
-
Check other options briefly
- B depends on , so it cannot represent the scrap value at unless simplified.
- C is unrelated to the linear differential equation here.
- D has incorrect form and dimensions.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
