Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs.54,150

Formula used

Value of a commodity after 'n' years with depreciation rate 'r'% p.a. is

\(Actual\ value \times (1 - {r\over100})^n\)

Given

Cost of generator = Rs.60,000

Rate of depreciation = 5% p.a.

Calculation

The Value of the generator after two years will be,

\(Actual\ value \times (1 - {r\over100})^n\)

\(⇒ 60000 \times (1 - {5\over100})^2\)

\(⇒ 60000 \times ({19\over20})^2\)

⇒ Rs. 54150
