(a)
The value of the car 3 years later
= $250 000 x (1 - 30%) x (1 - 20%)²
= $112 000
(b)
Overall percentage change
= [(112 000 - 250 000)/250 000] x 100%
= -55.2%
(decrease 55.2%)

(a)
Principal, P = $80 000
Interest rate, R% = 6%/4 = 1.5%
No. of periods, n = 2 x 4 = 8
Amount, A
= P (1 + R%)^n
= $80 000 x (1 + 1.5%)^8
= $90 119.41 (to 2 decimal places)
(b)
Principal, P = $80 000
Interest rate, R% = 6%/12 = 0.5%
No. of periods, n = 2 x 12 = 24
Amount, A
= P (1 + R%)^n
= $80 000 x (1 + 0.5%)^24
= $90 172.78 (to 2 decimal places)

If it is 1 year instead of 2 years, the solutions are :
(a)
Principal, P = $80 000
Interest rate, R% = 6%/4 = 1.5%
No. of periods, n = 4
Amount, A
= P (1 + R%)^n
= $80 000 x (1 + 1.5%)^4
= $84 909 (to the nearest dollar) ...... ans

(b)
Principal, P = $80 000
Interest rate, R% = 6%/12 = 0.5%
No. of periods, n = 12
Amount, A
= P (1 + R%)^n
= $80 000 x (1 + 0.5%)^12
= $84 934 (to the nearest dollar) ...... ans
