Answer 2

Answer:

The estimated value of the machine after two years is Rs.$4335$.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the cost of a machine is estimated to be decreasing at the rate of $15$% every year.

It means that after every year the value becomes $0.85$ times the present cost.

The present cost is Rs.$6000$

After one year, the cost will be $0.85*6000$

Cost after two years will be $0.85*0.85*6000$

$=4335$

The estimated value after two years is Rs.$4335$

Option (B) is correct.
