Module 5: Illustrative Examples

Question 5.4

A machine is purchased for Mu 40,000. The estimated life is 15 years. The end-of-life value of this machine is Mu 5,000. If the rate of interest on depreciation fund is 5 %, compute annual depreciation fund.


Answer 5.4

Initial cost (IC) = Mu 40,000
End-of Life value(EOLV) = Mu 5,000
Life (L) = 15 years
R= interest rate = 5/100 = 0.05
Annual depreciation fund = (IC-EOLV)/(L) x r / ([ 1+ rn] -1) = Mu 1155.55 per year
