Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Straight line method

The best I can EXPLAIN: In this method a FIXED AMOUNT of the original cost is deducted EVERY year so that at the end of the utility period only the scrap VALUE is left.

Annual depreciation D = Original cost-scrap value/life in year = C-S/n,

Where C- original cost, S- scrap value, n-life of the property in years and D- annual depreciation. The book value after the number of years, say N years = original cost – N*D.
