All assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. Seratelli Company uses a calendar year in preparing annual financial statements. After discussion, management has agreed to accept Danny’s proposed changes. (The “Proposed” useful life is total life, not remaining life.)
Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2014. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Revised Depreciation for Building = (Net Building - New Salvage Value)/ New Useful Life
= (733900 - 135318 - 35340) /( 48 - 8) (since 8 years have passed as on Jan 1 2014)
Depreciation = 14081.05
Revised Depreciation for Warehouse = (Net Warehouse - New Salvage Value)/ New Useful Life
= (127900 - 24570 - 5360 ) ( 20 - 5 ) (since 5 years have passed as on Jan 1 2014)
= 6531.33
