machine A costs $64000 and depreciates on a 10-year schedule. IF the NEt fixed asset value of machine A in year8 will be the same as that of machine B in year 9 depreciating on a 15 year schedule, what does Machine B Cost?
a. 14000
b. 32000
c. 48000
d. 85333
Machine A Cost - $64,000
By the end of 8 year, The Machine A would be depreciated by 80% (8 Years / Total Life of machine (10 Years) )
By the end of 9 th Year, The Machine B would be depreciated by 60% ( 9 Years / 15 Years)
If the Net fixed asset value of machine A in year8 will be the same as that of machine B in year 9 depreciating on a 15 year schedule is same then the machine B would worth
Value of Machine B= (Depreciated % of Machine B / Depreciated % of machine A) * Value of Machine A
= (60% / 80% ) * 64000
= (3/4) * 64000
= 48,000
Machine B would worth 48,000
Option C is the correct answer
