Answer: The answer is d 10%

Explanation:

Rate = Annual depreciation / Cost of Asset

Cost = $180,000 Salvage value at the end of the useful life of the machine = $12,000

Since we are given monthly depreciation, we multiply it by 12 to get the annual depreciation

=1,400*12=16,800

We subtract the salvage value from cost to know the real cost of the machine at the end of the useful life

180,000-12,000=168,000

Therefore to calculate rate

= Annual depreciation / Cost of the machine

= 16,800/168,000

= 0.1 * 100

=10%

Therefore the annual depreciation rate is 10%
