Study the table below and use it to answer the question

 Cost Price (N)  Useful life (Years)  Salvage value (N)  Annual depreciation (N)  Total depreciation
 20000  Y  5000  1000 annum  15000
 60000  10  18000  4200 annum  Z

 

The total depreciation represented by Z in the illustrated table is

N 42,000
N78,000
N 22,200
N 55,800

Explanation

Cost Price (N) = 60000
Salvage value (N) = 18000
Annual depreciation (N) = 4200
Useful life (Years) = 10
The formula to calculate the total depreciation is:
Total depreciation = Cost Price - Salvage value = 60000 - 18000
Therefore, the total depreciation represented by Z in the table is N 42,000.
