Irwin, Inc. constructed a machine at a total cost of $56
million. Construction was completed at the end of 2017 and the
machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2018. The machine
was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the straight-line
method. The residual value is expected to be $2 million. At the
beginning of 2021, Irwin decided to change to the
sum-of-the-years’-digits method.
Ignoring income taxes, prepare the journal entry relating to the
machine for 2021.

Depreciaiton Expense= (Original Cost- Salvage Value)/ Useful life |
(56-2)/10 = 5.40 Million |
Accumulated Depreciation from 2018 to 2020=5.40 Million = $16.20 |
Book value on 2021= 56 Million-16.20 Million= $39.80 Million |
Remainng Usefule Life= (10-3 )= 7 year |
Computation of Depreciation as per SOYD for 2021 |
Depreciaiton Expense = (39.80 - 2)X7/28= $9.45 |
