Solution
Calculation of the amount of depreciation:
Original cost = ₹ 50,000
residual value = ₹ 5,000
Estimated life = 10 years
Amount of depreciation = `("Original cost" - "Scrap value")/"Estimates life"`
= `(50,000 - 5,000)/(10 "years")`
= `(45,000)/10`
= ₹ 4,500
Calculation of rate of depreciation:
Rate of depreciation = `"Amount of depreciaton"/"Original cost" xx 100`
`= (4,500)/(50,000) xx 100`
= 9 %
