Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you(student) should be able to:
Your parent bought a house and a car three years ago, and they want to sell them this
year? What will they do and how much will they sell your house and car?
Some things that depreciate: Cars, Appliances, Computers and smartphones, Clothes and
Entertainment items. While things that appreciate are homes and investments.
%
Value = Starting value (1 + )n (Appreciation)
100
% n
Value = Starting value (1 - ) (Depreciation)
100
Where,
% = percentage increase/decrease
N = term of calculation (years/months/days)
Starting value = initial value or price
Example 1:
A vacation house is bought in 2015 for 60,000 pesos. If it increases in value by 5% each
year, how much is it worth in 2019?
Given: % = 5 %
N=4
Solution:
5%
Value = Starting value (1 + 100 )n
5%
Value = 60,000 (1 + 100 )4
Example 2:
A car is bought for 72,000 pesos. If it decreases in value by 1% each month, how much is
it worth after a year?
Given: % = 1%
N = 12
Solution:
1% n
Value = Starting value (1 + )
100
1%
Value = 72,000 (1 - 100 )12
Example 3:
Your best friend bought a house for Php200,000 and five years later sold it for
Php250,000. What is the rate at which the house is appreciated?
Solution:
The formula for this type of problem has two parts:
New value – old value = change in value
Change in value ÷old value = percent of change in value
Php 250,000 – Php 200,000 = Php 50,000
Php 50,000 ÷ Php200,000 = 0.25 or 25 percent
Hence, the house appreciated by 25 %.
Example 4:
A different type of problem deals with a decrease in value. You bought a house for
Php200,000 and five years later sold it for Php 150,000. By what percentage did it depreciate?
Solution:
The formula for this type of problem also has two parts:
Old value – new value = change in value
Change in value ÷old value = percent of change in value
Php 200,000 – Php150,000 = Php50,000
Php 50,000 ÷ Php200,000 = 0.25 or 25 percent
Hence, the house depreciated by 25 %.
Example 5:
A company has $15,000 worth of assets, but this is set to devalue by 8% annually for two
years. By how much have the assets depreciated?
Given: % = 8%
N=2
Staring value = $15,000
Solution:
8%
Value = Starting value (1 + 100 )n
8% 2
Value = 15,000 (1 - )
100
Value = $ 12,696.00
Original value –final value = 15,000 – 12,696 = $ 2,304
Therefore, the asset of the company depreciated with an amount of 2,304 dollars.
