Solution

The correct option is A Reducing Balance Method

Section 32(1) of the Act provides that depreciation is to be computed at the prescribed percentage on the written down value of the asset which in turn is calculated with reference to the actual cost of the assets. In the context of computing depreciation, it is important to understand the meaning of the term ‘WDV’ & ‘Actual Cost’.
