    Answer: $12,500 - dealer cost $20,875 - owner cost $5385.75 - owner's selling price Step-by-step explanation:

    The problem statement is missing a lot of information, so we'll make some assumptions:

    the cost of manufacture is the dealer's cost the markup percentage uses the dealer's cost as a base the car is purchased for the marked price in each case.

    1. The dealer's cost is the cost of manufacture: $12,500.

    2. The marked-up price is

    $12,500 + 0.67*12,500 = $20,875.

    3. The book value after 8 years is

    $20,875 - 0.57*20,875 = $8976.25

    So, the Craigslist price is

    0.60*$8976.25 = $5385.75
