Rae is saving for a new computer, so she’s selling her old antivirus software program for $250. The software originally cost $985, and she used it for 12 years. What was the net asset value of Rae’s antivirus software two years after her purchase? (1 point) Responses $722.50 $722.50 $755 $755 $825.75 $825.75 $862.50 $862.50 $890.75

1 answer

To calculate the net asset value of Rae's antivirus software two years after her purchase, we first need to determine the annual depreciation of the software.

  1. Determine the purchase price and useful life:

    • Original cost of software: $985
    • Useful life: 12 years
  2. Calculate annual depreciation: \[ \text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{\text{Original Cost}}{\text{Useful Life}} = \frac{985}{12} \approx 82.08 \]

  3. Calculate total depreciation after two years: \[ \text{Total Depreciation after 2 years} = \text{Annual Depreciation} \times 2 \approx 82.08 \times 2 \approx 164.17 \]

  4. Calculate the net asset value after two years: \[ \text{Net Asset Value} = \text{Original Cost} - \text{Total Depreciation} = 985 - 164.17 \approx 820.83 \]

Since the options you provided don't match our calculated value exactly, we can round $820.83 to the nearest choice:

The closest response to what we have calculated is $825.75.

So, Rae's antivirus software had a net asset value of approximately $825.75 two years after her purchase.
