the price of the TV set after the first year:

there are 12 months a year, the price will raise every 2 months, therefore it will raise 6 times over the year.

2500 x 1.08 (first 2 months)
2500 x 1.08 x 1.08 (4 months)
.
.
2500 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 = the price of the TV after the first year.
=3967.185807
= 3967.19( 2 dp)

the price remain unchange for the first half of second year and dropped by 15% every 3 months thereafter.

meaning from june of the second year to december of the third year the price dropped at 15% every 3 months.

it dropped 15 % every 3 months for 18 moths. meaninf it dropped 18/3 = 6 times.

3967.19 x 0.85 x 0.85 x 0.85 x0.85 x0.85 x0.85
= 1479.22
