A machine has an initial value of Rs. 5000, service life of 5 years and final salvage value of Rs. 1000. The annual depreciation cost by straight line method is Rs______________?

Correct answer: C. 800

  • A. 300
  • B. 600
  • C. 800
  • D. 1000

Explanation

Straight-line depreciation is spread evenly over the depreciable amount: (5000 - 1000)/5 = Rs. 800 per year. The salvage value is therefore deducted before dividing by the service life.
