Answer:

Karen expects the vehicle to depreciate by 600 each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- initial value: 4400

- salvage value: 800

- another six years

It is expected to depreciate from 4400 to 800 in 6 years.

The depreciation per year is the ratio

depreciation per year = (total depreciation) / (number of years)

Total depreciation is the change in value, so the depreciation per year is

 (4400 - 800)/6 = 600
