C.
N12,000
D.
N8,000
Correct Answer: N16,200
Explanation
Since it depreciates by 10% At the end of first year, its value = 90% of 20000
= 90/100
x 20000 =18000
At the end of second year, its value = 90% of 18000
= 90/100
x 18000 = ₦16,200
Since it depreciates by 10% At the end of first year, its value = 90% of 20000
= 90/100
x 20000 =18000
At the end of second year, its value = 90% of 18000
= 90/100
x 18000 = ₦16,200
