Answer:

The machine's resale value in 5 years from now will be $309,392

Explanation:

Future value = present value*exp(cx)

$340,000 = $500,000*exp(4c)

17/25 = exp(4c)

c = -0.096

Future value = present value*exp(cx)

                     = $500,000*exp(-0.096*5)

                     = $309,391.70

Therefore, The machine's resale value in 5 years from now will be $309,392
