(a) Situation 1: Cheyenne Corporation purchased electrical equipment at a cost of $11,500 on June 2, 2020. From 2020 through 2023, the equipment was depreciated on a straight-line basis, under the assumption that it would have a 10-year useful life and a $1,900 residual value. After more experience and before recording 2024's depreciation, Cheyenne revised its estimate of the machine's useful life downward from a total of 10 years to 8 years, and revised the estimated residual value to $1,900. On April 29, 2025, after recording part of a year's depreciation for 2025, the company traded in the equipment for a newer model, and received a $3,700 trade-in allowance, even though the equipment's fair value was only $2,600. The new asset had a list price of $14,200 and the supplier accepted $10,500 cash for the balance. The new equipment was depreciated on a straight-line basis, assuming a seven-year useful life and a $1,130 residual value. Determine the amount of depreciation expense reported by Cheyenne for each fiscal year for the years ended December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2025.
