Answer 1

Answer:

25000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of machine be x,

the value of machine after 1 year is 0.9x qnd after 2 years will 0.9*0.9x which is equal to 0.81x.

Value of depreciation in second year will be 0.09x i.e. 0.90x - 0.81x.

So if 0.09x is equal to 2250 then x is equal to 25000
