Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Since it depreciates by 10% At the end of first year, its value = 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
Since it depreciates by 10% At the end of first year, its value = 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
