Solve the following problem and show with solution.
A factory owner installs a new machine for Php20,000. After eight years, the machine has a salvage value of Php1000. Find the formula for the value of the machine after t years, where 0≤≤8.
Depreciation=(Value of the Asset-Salvage Value)/Useful Years
Substitute the given to the formula ypu had written
Depreciation=(PHP20,000-PHP1,000)/8 years
Proceed with normal mathematical operations
Depreciation=PHP19,000/8 years
Depreciation= PHP2,375
Deduct the depreciation expense times the number of years according to the given problem. This was not very clear to me in the problem you had given. Was it any value less than 8?
Example: The value of the machine after 3 years, same problem above.
Answers & Comments
Step-by-step explanation:
Depreciation=(Value of the Asset-Salvage Value)/Useful Years
Depreciation=(PHP20,000-PHP1,000)/8 years
Depreciation=PHP19,000/8 years
Depreciation= PHP2,375
Example: The value of the machine after 3 years, same problem above.
PHP19,000-(PHP2,375*3)
PHP19,000-(PHP7,125)
=PHP 11,875
