Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The printer is purchased for ₹ 15,000 and will have a scrap value of ₹ 3,000 after 6 years.

Total depreciation over 6 years:

=15,000−3,000= 15,000 - 3,000

=12,000= 12,000


Using straight-line depreciation method, the depreciation per year:

=12,0006= \dfrac{12,000}{6}

=2,000= 2,000 per year


Depreciation for 3 years:

=2,000×3= 2,000 \times 3

=6,000= 6,000


Book value after 3 years:

=15,000−6,000= 15,000 - 6,000

=9,000= 9,000

Therefore, the book value of the printer at the end of 3 years is ₹ 9,000.
