A house purchased last year for $160,000 is now worth $192,000. Assuming that the house's value continues to appreciate at the same rate each year, what is the value of the house 2 years from now?

A. $265,888
B. $238,240
C. $276,480
D. $230,400

Respuesta :

The value of the house 2 years from now is $276,480.

Option (C) is correct.

According to the question,

Cost of house last year = $  160000

Cost of house at present = $ 192000

The increase in the price of the house is calculated by finding the difference between the prices in two consecutive years.

Increment in cost = $ (192000-160000) =$ 32000

The rate of increment can be calculated by dividing the increment by the original price and then multiplying it by 100%.

Rate of increment = 32000/160000 * 100 =20%

Thus, the value of the house 2 years from now is calculated as:

=192000(1+20/100)(1+20/100)

=192000*120/100*120/100

= $ 276480
