    C Rs.50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The depreciation in Year 1 as per: Straight Line method (SLM) = cost of machinery/life of machinery = 500000/5 = Rs.100000 per year Written down Value (WDV) = cost of machinery*rate of depreciation = 500000*10% = Rs.50,000 per year So the difference between the 2 methods = 100,000-50,000 = Rs.50,000
