Explanation:

Step1: Calculate price decrease

First, find 13.3% of the current price. Convert 13.3% to decimal form: $0.133$.
$\text{Decrease} = 57000 \times 0.133$
$\text{Decrease} = 7581$

Step2: Calculate next model price

Subtract the decrease from the current price.
$\text{Next price} = 57000 - 7581$
$\text{Next price} = 49419$

Answer:

Decrease in price: $\$7581$
Price of next model: $\$49419$
