The following graph shows how a 4-color web printing press depreciates from the year 2006 to the year 2010. It was purchased new in the year 2006; therefore x = 0 represents the year 2006.
X – axis (horizontal) = years starting from 0 = 2006 and increasing by 0.5 years
Y – axis (vertical) = price in $ amounts
We can't see the graph.
To understand the depreciation of the 4-color web printing press from 2006 to 2010, we can analyze the given graph with the X and Y axes.
The X-axis represents time in years, starting from 0 (which corresponds to the year 2006) and increasing by 0.5 years. This means that each point on the X-axis represents a specific year, ranging from 2006 to 2010.
The Y-axis represents the price of the printing press in dollars. The values on the Y-axis indicate the price of the printing press at different points in time.
To determine the depreciation of the printing press over the given period, we need to look at the shape and direction of the graph. If the graph slopes downward as we move from left to right, it suggests that the price of the printing press decreases over time.
By examining the graph, you can determine the rate of depreciation by comparing the change in price (Y-axis) over the given time period (X-axis). The steeper the slope, the faster the depreciation.
To calculate the exact depreciation rate for specific years, you can use the coordinates on the graph. Subtracting the price at the end of a given year from the price at the start of that year will give you the depreciation amount for that year.
For example, if the price of the printing press in 2006 (x = 0) is $10,000 and the price in 2007 (x = 0.5) is $8,000, the depreciation for that year would be $10,000 - $8,000 = $2,000.
By analyzing the graph and calculating the depreciation for each year, you can determine the overall depreciation trend of the printing press from 2006 to 2010.
