Question

Of the two machines purchased, the first one’s share of cost is

37.5 %

. Depreciation is to be calculated annually at the rates of

20 %

and

15 %

on the first and second machines respectively, of the value of each machine at the beginning of the year. At the end of two years, the total value of depreciation is what percent of the total cost?

Options:

A . 32.94%

B . 33.36%

C . 30.84%

D . Can’t be determined

Answer: Option C
:
C
Let the cost of two machines be Rs. 800
So, cost of

1^{s t}

machine =

37.5 %

of Rs. 800 = Rs. 300
Cost of

2^{n d}

machine =

62.5 %

of Rs. 800 = Rs. 500
Total cost of 2 machines at the end of 2 yrs = 553.25
Total depreciation

= 246.75 = (\frac{246.75}{800}) \times 100 = 30.84 %

Hence option (c)
