Cost of equipment used in power system is Rs. 1,00,000 and its scrap value is Rs. 10,000 after a useful life of 20 years. What is the annual depreciation charge of the equipment? Correct Answer Rs. 4,500

Concept:

According to straight line method,

Annual depreciation charge = (Initial value – Salvage value) / (Useful life)

Calculation:

Initial value = Rs 1,00,000

Final value / scrap value = Rs 10,000

Useful life = 20 years

Annual depreciation charge = (100000 – 10000) / (20)

Annual depreciation charge = (90000) / (20)

Annual depreciation charge = Rs. 4,500
