Detailed Explanation
The stereo depreciates 240 the first year (0.2 × 1200 – 240).
Therefore, the value of the stereo after the first year is 1200 – 240 = 960.
The second year the stereo would depreciate by 192 (0.2 × 960). The value of the stereo after the second year is 960 – 192 = 768.
Therefore, the value of the stereo after the first year is 1200 – 240 = 960.
The second year the stereo would depreciate by 192 (0.2 × 960). The value of the stereo after the second year is 960 – 192 = 768.
