Solution - "Option -C"
Assets Category - Machine | Original Cost | Salvage Value | Depreciable Cost | Depreciable Life | SL Depreciation Per Year |
X | 591000 | 38000 | 553000 | 14 | 39500 |
Y | 805000 | 82000 | 723000 | 10 | 72300 |
Z | 292000 | 58000 | 234000 | 6 | 39000 |
Total | 1688000 | 150800 |
Composite rate of depreciation = Total Depreciation per year / Total Original cost
= 150800/1688000*100 = 8.93%
