A machine valued at N20,000 depreciates by 10% every year. What will be the value of the machine at the end of two years?

A
N16,200
B
N14,200
C
N12,000
D
N8,000
correct option: a

10% depreciation at the end of first year (100-10%) = 90% of 20000

  = \(\frac{90}{100}\) x 20000 =18000

  At the end of second year, its value = 90% of 18000

  = \(\frac{90}{100}\) x 18000 = ₦16,200
