Mr. B.M. Wadhwa purchased a car costing ₹20 lakh. It has a useful life of 15 years. The depreciation follows the straight line trend. If the annual depreciation is ₹1,20,000, what is the scrap value of the car ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Straight line depreciation =cost−scraplife=\frac{\text{cost}-\text{scrap}}{\text{life}}. So 1,20,000=20,00,000−S151{,}20{,}000=\frac{20{,}00{,}000-S}{15}, giving 20,00,000−S=18,00,00020{,}00{,}000-S=18{,}00{,}000 and S=2S=2 lakh.
