-$333.33
$333.33

0.003

Answer 1

To find the value decrease per month, we need to divide the total value decrease by the number of months.
The value decrease is $4,000 and the number of months is 12.
Dividing $4,000 by 12 gives us $333.33.

Therefore, the value decreases by -$333.33 per month.
So the correct answer is -$333.33.
