1. **State the problem:**
We need to find the value of a car after 10 years given it depreciates at 14% per year from an initial value of 18700.
2. **Formula used:**
The value after $t$ years with depreciation rate $r$ is given by the exponential decay formula:
$$ V = P(1 - r)^t $$
where $P$ is the initial value, $r$ is the depreciation rate as a decimal, and $t$ is the time in years.
3. **Identify values:**
- Initial value $P = 18700$
- Depreciation rate $r = 0.14$
- Time $t = 10$
4. **Calculate:**
$$ V = 18700(1 - 0.14)^{10} = 18700(0.86)^{10} $$
5. **Evaluate the power:**
$$ (0.86)^{10} \approx 0.2287679245 $$
6. **Multiply:**
$$ V = 18700 \times 0.2287679245 = 4275.9999 $$
7. **Round to nearest cent:**
$$ V \approx 4276.00 $$
**Final answer:** The value of the car after 10 years will be approximately **4276.00**.
