Question

Transcribed Image Text: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 $117,000. The machine's useful life
was estimated to be 12 years with an estimated residual value of $17,200. 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.
