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

✅ Correct Option: 3

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.
