Original Cost 30,000
Less: Expected salvage value at the end of 10 years 2,00
28,000
Depreciable cost over 10 years
(a) Straight Line Method 28,000 = Rs. 2,800
Depreciation expense per year 10
Thus depreciation of three years: 2,800 X 3 =Rs. 8,400
( b) Diminishing Balance Method
Let us first calculate the rate of depreciation :

= 1-0.763 x 100 =23.7% rounded to 24%
Original cost of the asset Rs.
Less: Depreciation-year1@24% 30,000
7,00
22,800
Less: Depreciation-year2@24% 5,470
17,330
Less: Depreciation-year3@24% 4,160
13,170
Total Depreciation = Rs. 7,200 + Rs. 5,470 + Rs. 4,160/ = Rs. 16,830
