10.5 Effects of Changes in Estimates on Depreciation Expense
At the end of each year, Patty Chu, the chief accountant at Rex Lin Enterprises, a Singapore-based trading company, reviews long-term assets at the
end of each year to determine whether changes are called for in how these assets are depreciated. In December 2017, her attention focused on two
assets in particular:
Warehouse
Building
Date acquired Cost Accumulated depreciation end of 2017 Useful life Residual value

Patty is proposing the following changes:
For the warehouse: a decrease in the useful life to 20 years and a decrease in residual value to $6,000.
For the building: an increase in the useful life to 50 years and a decrease in the residual value to $55,000.
Before agreeing to the changes, Patty's bosses would like to know what the depreciation charges will be for each asset if the changes are adopted. All
assets are depreciated using…
S10-6 Calculating depreciation by three methods–second year
