Solution
Original cost = ₹ 1,00,000
Scrap value = ₹ 10,000
Estimated life = 5 years
Amount of depreciation = `("Original cost" - "Scrap value")/"Estimates life"`
`= (1,00,000 - 10,000)/(5 "years")`
`= (90,000)/5`
= ₹ 18,000
Rate of depreciation = `"Amount of depreciaton"/"Original cost" xx 100`
`= (18,000)/(1,00,000) xx 100`
= 18 %
