Chapter 11, Problem 18QS
Accounting for changes in estimates; error adjustments C3
For each situation, identify whether it is treated as a prior period adjustment or change in accounting estimate.

- After using an expected useful life of seven years and no salvage value to
depreciate its office equipment over the preceding three years, the company decided early this year that the equipment will last only two more years. - Upon reviewing customer contracts, the company realizes it mistakenly reported $150,000 in revenue instead of the actual amount earned of $15,000. This mistake occurred two years ago and had a material effect on financial statements.
