Solution
The correct option is B5 years
Where their is a revision of the estimated useful life of an asset, the unamortised depreciation amount should be charged over the revised remaining useful life.
Remaining depreciable amount after 5 yrs. = Rs. 40,000
Remaining life of asset revised to = 5 years
Hence, the remaining depreciable amount will be charged over 5 years.
