ANSWER

$ 18,085.70

EXPLANATION

The formula we have to use to find the value of a product which value depreciates over time is:

[tex]y=a(1-r)^t[/tex]

Where a is the initial value, r is the depreciation rate and t is the time in years.

In this problem we have a = 24000, r = 0.09 and t = 3:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=24,000\cdot(1-0.09)^3 \\ y=24,000\cdot0.91^3 \\ y=24,000\cdot0.753571 \\ y=18,085.704 \end{gathered}[/tex]
