Dear Sanjeev 

Take original cost of assest is Rs. 100

Now 1st year dep on 100 @ 30% will be 30 and net wdv will be (100-30)=Rs. 70

in 2nd year dep charged on 70 @ 30% will be 21 & net wdv (70-21) = Rs. 49

in 3rd year dep charged on 49 @ 30% will be 14.7 & net wdv (49-14.7) = Rs. 34.30

in 4 th year dep charged on 34.3 @ 30% will be 10.3 & net wdv (34.3-10.3) = Rs. 24

anthor method

Take calculator & start with 100

Then press (-) 30% get 70, next (-) 30% get 49, next (-) 30% get 34.3, next (-) 30% get 24

yogesh is right. you can try each option like this. and get the right answer. :)

thats's ok but what if there's no options how do i decide it would be 30%

Dear Sanjeev, Formula for calculation rate of depn under declining balance method. rate = 1 - ((salvage / cost) ^ (1 / life)).

Assuming Original Cost be 1

Applying above using figure given:- = (1-((0.24*1/1)^(1/4)))

= 0.300073

in term of % = 30% i.e., Ans. :-)
