Solution
Determine the annual depreciation rate of the car.
Calculate the total depreciation.
The total depreciation is given by the formula:
\[
\text{Total Depreciation} = \text{Initial Value} - \text{Expected Value} = 48500 - 16000 = 32500
\]
Calculate the annual depreciation rate.
The annual depreciation rate is calculated as:
\[
\text{Annual Depreciation Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Depreciation}}{\text{Years}} = \frac{32500}{10} = 3250
\]
The annual depreciation rate is \(\boxed{3250}\) dollars per year.
The annual depreciation rate is \(\boxed{3250}\) dollars per year.
