Sunland Company purchased a machine on January 1, 2019, for
$864000. At the date of acquisition, the machine had an estimated
useful life of 6 years with no salvage. The machine is being
depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2022, Sunland
determined, as a result of additional information, that the machine
had an estimated useful life of 8 years from the date of
acquisition with no salvage. An accounting change was made in 2022
to reflect this additional information.
Assume that the direct effects of this change are limited to the
effect on depreciation and the related tax provision, and that the
income tax rate was 40% in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. What should
be reported in Sunland's income statement for the year ended
December 31, 2022, as the cumulative effect on prior years of
changing the estimated useful life of the machine?
