Solution

The correct option is B Rs. 4800
Cost of amount charged for depreciation = Rs. 11,000 + Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 12,000
Rate of depreciation = 20%
Year Depreciation Book value
2012 = Rs 12,000 x 20% = Rs 2,400
= Rs 12,000 - Rs 2,400 = Rs 9,600
2013 = Rs 12,000 x 20% = Rs 2,400 = Rs 9,600 - Rs 2,400 = Rs 7,200
2014 = Rs 12,000 x 20% = Rs 2,400 = Rs 7,200 - Rs 2,400 = Rs 4,800
Therefore, the book value of the machinery at the end of 2014 is Rs. 4,800.
