An equipment costing #9,000 has an estimated residual value of #900, and is depreciated at 10% per annum. Using the straight-line method, what is the depreciation charge for the second year?
To calculate depreciation using the straight-line method, you can use the formula:
Depreciation Expense = (Cost of Asset - Residual Value) / Useful Life
Given:
Cost of the equipment = 9,000 Residual value = 900
Depreciation rate = 10%
Useful life = 10 years (since the depreciation rate is 10%)
First, calculate the annual depreciation:
Depreciation Expense = (9,000 - 900) / 10
= 8,100 / 10
= 810
Therefore, the depreciation charge for the second year would still be #810.
