Solution
Original cost = Purchase of machinery + repair charges
= 38,000 + 12,000
= 50,000
Residual value = 6,000
Estimated life = 4 years
Amount of depreciation = `("Original cost" - "Scrap value")/"Estimates life"`
`= (50,000 - 6,000)/(4 "years")`
`= (44,000)/4`
= ₹ 11,000
Rate of depreciation = `"Amount of depreciaton"/"Original cost" xx 100`
= `(11,000)/(50,000) xx 100`
= 22%
