In 4 years, a mobile costing ₹ 36,000 will have a salvage value of ₹ 7200.
The following graph shows the depreciation of a mobile’s value over 4 years.

Image

A new mobile at that time (i.e., after 4 years) is expected to cost for ₹ 55,200. In order to provide funds for the difference between the replacement cost and the salvage cost, a sinking fund is set up into which equal payments are placed at the end of each year. If the fund earns interest at the rate 7% compounded annually, how much should each payment be? Also find the amount of Annual Depreciation of the mobile’s value over 4 years and find the rate of depreciation (under straight line method).
