An equipment has purchase value I, and its worth after t years is V(t). The value falls according to dV/dt = -k(T - t), where k > 0 is constant and T is the equipment's total life in years. Find the scrap value V(T).

  1. I - k(T - t)²/2
  2. e^(-kT)
  3. T² - I/k
  4. I - kT²/2

Correct answer: I - kT²/2

Solution

Integrating gives V(t) = I - k[Tt - t²/2]; setting t = T yields V(T) = I - kT²/2.
