Follow-up Question

Hello, in the above question 3 on the change in policy on the depreciation why not calculate the depreciation expense for the year-end December 31, 2018, and 2019 which is 100,000 divided by 10 = 10,000 for 2 years = 20,000. Then subtract the 36,000 -20,000 = 16,000. Reverse the 12,800 which was booked using the double declining balance method. and record the correct amount to accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense.
