How to calculate annual depreciation and interest using the sinking fund method if the cost of the electric oven is missing?

The cost of the Electric Oven is not provided in the list of balances. To calculate the amount to be charged as depreciation and interest each accounting year using the sinking fund method, the cost of the oven (which represents the future value needed for replacement) is required. Here's how the calculation would be performed once the cost of the oven is known: Step 1: Identify the formula for the annual sinking fund contribution. The annual amount (A) to be set aside to accumulate a future value (FV) over 'n' years at an interest rate 'i' is given by the formula: A = FV × (i)/((1+i)^n - 1) Where: FV = Future Value (Cost of the Electric Oven) i = Annual interest rate (5% or 0.05) n = Number of years (25 years) Step 2: List the known values. Interest rate (i) = 5\% = 0.05 Number of years (n) = 25 years Future Value (FV) = Cost of the Electric Oven (This value is missing* from the provided information.) Step 3: Explain the missing information. Without the specific cost of the Electric Oven, the numerical amount to be charged as depreciation and interest cannot be calculated. If you provide the cost of the Electric Oven, I can complete the calculation for you. The calculation for the amount to be charged as depreciation and interest cannot be completed without the cost of the Electric Oven. 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
