Solution

The correct option is C Rs. 5,600
Option C is correct. In straight line method, depreciation charged remains same for every year.
Purchase Price of machine = 60,000

Installation expenses = 2,000
Total cost of machine = 60,000+2,000
=62,000
Depreciation = Cost Of Machine - salvage value / estimated life of machine
= 62,000 - 6000/ 5
Annual Depreciation = 5600
All the expenses before an asset becomes ready to use is added into asset.
