Compute the MHR from the following data:

Cost of machine

Installation charges

Rs 10,000

Estimated scrap value after the expiry of life (15 years)

Rs 5,000

Rent and rates for the shop per month

Rs 200

General lighting for the shop per month

Rs 300

Insurance premium for the machine per annum

Rs 960

Repair and maintenance per annum

Rs 1,000
