EXERCISE 9.6 Revision of Depreciation Estimates e LO9-3
Swindall Industries uses straight-line depreciation on all of its depreciable assets. The company records annual depreciation
expense at the end of each calendar year. On January 11, 2017, the company purchased a machine costing $90,000. The
machine's useful life was estimated to be 12 years with an estimated residual value of $18,00o. Depreciation for partial years is
recorded to the nearest full month.
In 2021, after almost five years of experience with the machine, management decided to revise its estimated life from 12 years
to 20 years. No change was made in the estimated residual value. The revised estimate of the useful life was decided prior to
recording annual depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Problem 11-11 (Algo) Error correction; change in depreciation method [LO11-2, 11-6, 11-7]
Collins Corporation purchased office equipment at the beginning of 2022 and capitalized a cost of $2,130,000. This cost figure
included the following expenditures:
Purchase price
Freight charges
Installation charges
Annual maintenance charge
Total
The company estimated an eight-year useful life for the equipment. No residual value is anticipated. The double-declining-balance
method was used to determine depreciation expense for 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, after the 2023 financial statements were issued, the company decided to switch to the straight-line depreciation method
for this equipment. At that time, the company's controller discovered that the original cost of the equipment incorrectly included
one year of annual maintenance charges for the equipment.
Required:
1. Ignoring income taxes, prepare the appropriate correcting entry for the equipment capitalization error discovered in 2024.

Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3.
