Question:

As asset costing ₹2,00,000 is expected to have a useful life of 10 years and a final scrap value of ₹40,000. The book value of the machine at the end of sixth year is :

Options:

₹1,36,000

₹1,04,000

₹1,20,000

₹88,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,04,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹1,04,000

Annual Depreciation = $\frac{Cost\,of\,Asset-Scrap\,value}{Useful\,life}$

$=\frac{200000-40000}{10}=16000$

∴ Total depreciation = $(16000 × 6) = 96,000$

Hence, Book value = Cost of Asset - Depreciation

= Rs 1,04,000
