1) homer and marge have purchased a home for $189 000. the real estate agent informs them that homes in their area have generally depreciated by 11% every six years. based on this, how much should they be able to sell their home for in 15 years? (3 points)

They should be able to sell their home for $149706.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first understand the situation.

There is an initial value for the house which is $189000. However, this value varies every 6 years because of a 11% depreciation of the total value.

Because the depreciation is not executed during the 6 years in a constant way, but instead after the whole 6 years have passed, then we can calculate how many depreciations will be applied within the next 15 years:

total years/years needed for depreciation=15years/6years=2.5

The above means that only 2 depreciations are going to be applied. Remember that depreciation is only applied if the whole 6 years have passed.  

Now, after the first 6 years the depreciation (D) is:

D = 0.11 * $189000 = $20790,

which means that the value of the house will be:

(initial value) - D = $189000 - $20790 = $168210

Now, after the following 6 years, first 12 years, the depreciation (D) is:

D = 0.11 * $168210 = $18503.1,

which means that the value of the house will be:

(initial value) - D = $168210 - $18503.1 = $149706.9

In conclusion, in 15 years from now, they should be able to sell their home for $149706.9
