In 2021, Sheffield changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $81000. What is 2021 depreciation expense?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$171,500

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is shown below:

For accumulated depreciation

= ($604,000 - $64,000) ×  3 years ÷ 9 years

= $180,000

Now the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is

= ($604,000 - $180,000 - $81,000) ÷ ( 5 years - 3 years)

= $171,500

Hence, the depreciation expense for the year 2021 is $171,500
