Question

Exercise 11-11 Machinery purchased for $75,000 by Headland Co. in 2013 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value of $5,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2018, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a salvage value of $5,625 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Prepare the entry to correct the prior year's depreciation, if necessary. (If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

* 1. No correcting entry necessary because changes in estimate handled in the current and prospective periods.

**2. Depreciation prior to change = ($75,000 - $5,000) / 8 = $8,750

Book value as on 1/1/2018 = $75,000 - ($8,750*5) = $31,250

Remaining useful life - 10 - 5 = 5 years

Revised depreciation = ($31,250 - $5,625) / 5 = $5,125
