Income from continuing operations before tax and before deducting depreciation in Year 10 is $12,000. Provide the Year 10 entry to record this change and calculate Year 10 net income.

On January 4, 1999, the corporation purchased machinery for cash at a cost of $90,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with a residual value of $22,000. Depreciation for partial years is recorded to the nearest full month. In 2001, after almost 2 years of experience with the equipment, management decided that the estimated life of the equipment should be revised from 10 years to 7 years. No change was made in the estimate of residual value. The revised estimate of useful life was decided on prior to recording to depreciation for the period ended December 31, 2001. Instructions: Prepare journal entries in chronological order for the above events, beginning with the purchase of the machinery on January 4, 1999.
