Revision of Depreciation
On January 2, 2015, Moser, Inc., purchased equipment for $100,000. The equipment was expected to have a $10,000 salvage value at the end of its estimated six-year useful life. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded. Before adjusting the accounts for 2019, Moser decided that the useful life of the equipment should be extended by three years and the salvage value decreased to $8,000.
