Question

Axel Ltd. owns a equipment that it had purchased on January 1, 2014 for $2,500,000 cash.  Axel applies the revaluation model to account for its assets and re-values them annually. Axel uses straight-line depreciation over the asset's 20-year useful life with no residual value.  

The asset's fair values were as follows:

December 31, 2014    $2,300,000

December 31, 2015    $2,400,000

December 31, 2016    $2,105,000

On January 1, 2015 Axel replaced a motor in the equipment at a total cost of $375,000.  This new motor is expected to add an additional 6 years to the useful of the equipment, and the residual value is now estimated to be $150,000 at the end of the useful life.  As well, Axel has determined that the most appropriate method of depreciating this equipment is now the diminishing balance method.
