Use the depreciation formula.

[tex]\sf p(1-r)^n[/tex]

Where 'p' is the principal value, 'r' is the rate it depreciates, and 'n' is the time. Just plug in what we know:

[tex]\sf 28000(1-0.0725)^5[/tex]

Simplify by subtracting:

[tex]\sf 28000(0.9275)^5[/tex]

Simplify the exponent:

[tex]\sf 28000(0.6864)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]\sf\approx\boxed{\sf\$ 19219.20}[/tex]
