For a 5-year asset costing 60 000 with zero salvage, the first year's sum of years digits charge is

  • A.24 000
  • B.4000
  • C.20 000
  • D.12 000

Answer: C

Correct answer: 20 000

The first year takes the largest fraction, being the years of life remaining over the sum of the digits: \[ 60\,000 \times \frac{5}{15} = 60\,000 \times \frac{1}{3} = 20\,000. \] The base is the full 60 000 because the salvage value is zero; with a salvage value it would be deducted first.
