A company purchased a plant for Rs 10000. It is expected that its useful life will be 3 years and salvage value Rs 1000.  You  are required to determine the rate of depreciation and amount of depreciation to be provided in the first year as per written down value method.

 

can anyone tell me  how to calculate this

thanks in advance:)

Formula for calculating depreciation rate by WDV method is-:

1 – (Salvage value)1/life

              Cost

 

 In your quest.-:

1 – (1000)1/3

      10,000

 

(I dont know how to solve the bracket part i.e.(0.1)1/3 by mathematical technique.  I have used a shortcut method to solve it as told by our teacher.)

1 - 0.464225637

Dep. rate= 53.58%

If you have answer, plz verify from it.
