Question

Let I be the purchase value of an equipment and V(t) be the value after it has been used for t years. The value V(t) depreciates at a rate given by differential equation dV(t)dt=k(Tt), where k > 0 is a constant and T is the total life in years of the equipment. Then the scrap value V(T) of the equipment is :

Ik(Tt)22

IkT22

e – kT

T2Ik

Solution

dv(t)dt=k(Tt)

òdv(t) = ò(–kT)dt + òktdt

V(t)=kTt+kt22+c

at   t = 0   C = I

V(T)=kTt+kt22+I

Now      at    t = T

V(T)=kT2+kT22+I

V(T)=I12kT2
