Question 1 Report

The cost of a machine is ₦10,000. The residual value is ₦4,000. It is expected to last for 4 years. Using the straight line method, what is the amount of depreciation charged per annum?

6000

1000

1500

2500

Answer Details

The straight line method of depreciation is a simple way of calculating the amount of depreciation to be charged each year for an asset. To use this method, we subtract the residual value (the value of the asset after it has been fully depreciated) from the original cost of the asset, and then divide this by the number of years the asset is expected to last. So, for the machine in this question: - Original cost: ₦10,000 - Residual value: ₦4,000 - Years expected to last: 4 The amount of depreciation to be charged per year would be: ₦10,000 - ₦4,000 = ₦6,000 ₦6,000 ÷ 4 years = ₦1,500 So, the amount of depreciation charged per annum is ₦1,500.
