2500

Options:

x = 2500, y = 27,500

x = 13,750, y = 3000

x = 16,250, y = 13,750

x = 13,750, y = 16,250 

Correct Answer:

x = 13,750, y = 16,250 

Explanation:

$\text {Amount of depreciation (x)} = \frac{\text{Cost of Machine - Scrap Value of Machine}}{|Life in years} = \frac{30000-2500}{2} = 13,750$

$ y = 30,000 - 13,750 = 16,250$
