Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Revised Depreciation per year = (Book Value on the date of Change – Salvage Value) / Remaining Revised life

Depreciation Expense per year before Change:
Straight Line Depreciation per year = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Straight Line Depreciation per year = (240,000 – 0) / 3
Straight Line Depreciation per year = $80,000

Book Value on the date of Change = $240,000 - $80,000
Book Value on the date of Change = $160,000

Revised Depreciation per year = (160,000 – 0) / 4
Revised Depreciation per year = $40,000

Therefore, Depreciation Expense for 2017 is $40,000.
