Solution

Given, purchase price of furniture = V

= ₹ 5,12,000/-

Rate of depreciation = r = 12.5%

Number of years = n = 3 years

∴ Value of furniture after 3 years = V`(1 - "r"/100)^"n"`

= `5,12,000(1 - 12.5/100)^3`

= `5,12,000(1 - 1/8)^3`

= `5,12,000(7/8)^3`

= `5,12,000 xx 343/512`

= 3,43,000

∴ The value of furniture will be ₹ 3,43,000/-
