A controlled cash-equivalent pair differs only by a 10-year age gap, with prices $295,000 and $271,000. What average dollar difference per year of that gap does this pair indicate? It is not a forecast of annual future depreciation.

Correct Answer

B) $2,400

(295000−271000)÷10=2400. Common errors: dividing by 9 instead of the 10-year gap gives $2,667; reporting the total difference instead of the per-year figure gives $24,000; dividing by 100 instead of 10 gives $240.
