Question:

If an asset costs Rs. 50,000 with an estimated useful life of 6 years and a scrap value of Rs. 5000. Then by using a linear depreciation method, the annual depreciation of the asset will be:

Options:

Rs. 7,000

Rs. 7,500

Rs. 7,800

Rs. 8,000

Correct Answer:

Rs. 7,500

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Rs. 7,500

Given

Cost of asset: $C = 50000$, Useful life: $n = 6$ years, Scrap value: $S = 5000$

Annual depreciation (linear method):

$D = \frac{C - S}{n} = \frac{50000 - 5000}{6} = \frac{45000}{6} = 7500$
