उत्तर
Original cost = ₹ 50,000
Residual value = ₹ 10,000
Estimated life = 10 years
Amount of depreciation = `("Original cost" - "Scrap value")/"Estimates life"`
`= (50,000 - 10,000)/10`
`= (40,000)/10`
= ₹ 4,000
Rate of depreciation = `"Amount of depreciation"/"Original cost" xx 100`
`= (4,000)/(50,000) xx 100`
= 8%
