If a machine (having a scrap value of Rs.1,000) is purchased for Rs.10,000 and it has an effective life of 10 years of 1000 hours each, what will be the amount of depreciation per hour?
Rs.0.90
The correct answer is option 4. Depreciation per hour is calculated as: Depreciation = (Cost of the Asset - Scrap Value) / Total Hours of Usage. So, depreciation per hour = (Rs.10,000 - Rs.1,000) / (10 years * 1000 hours) = Rs.9,000 / 10,000 = Rs.0.90 per hour.
