If the original cost of a building is Rs. 25,00,000/- and its scrap value after 55 years is Rs.25,000/-, then its annual depreciation (in Rs.) using straight line method is

1. 25,000
2. 35,000
3. 45,000
4. 55,000

Correct Option: C

Original cost = 2500000
Scrap value after 55 years = 25000
Depreciation for 55 years = 2500000 – 25000 = 2475000
Depreciation per year = 2475000/55 = 45000
