Question

If the cost of machinery is Rs.5 lakh, the life of the machinery is expected to be 5 years, and rate of depreciation is 10%, what will be the difference between the amount of depreciation in straight line method and written down value method in first year?

A Rs.100,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs.90,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs.50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E No difference 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
