Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The original cost of the machine = 100000

The scrap value of  the machine = 30000  

Value of the machine = ( 100000 - 30000 )

                                   = 70000

Depreciation of the machine for the first year = ( 70000 * 20 % )

                                                                            = 14000

So, the effective life of the machine is = ( 70000 /  14000 )

                                                                = 5 years
