If the price of a machinery costing ₹ 25000 is expected to have a useful life of 4 years and a scrap value of ₹ 5000. Then the annual depreciation by linear method is:
Solution
The machinery has an initial cost of ₹25,000, a scrap value of ₹5,000, and a useful life of 4 years.
In the linear (straight-line) method, the machinery loses the same amount of value every year.
Total Depreciation = Initial Cost - Scrap Value
Total Depreciation = ₹25,000 - ₹5,000
Total Depreciation = ₹20,000
The total depreciation is distributed equally over the useful life.
Annual Depreciation = Total Depreciation ÷ Number of Years
Annual Depreciation = ₹20,000 ÷ 4
Annual Depreciation = ₹5,000 per year
Therefore, the annual depreciation by linear method is ₹5,000.
