$15,000 $525,000 Building, estimated service life, 30 years; no salvage value $693,000 The equipment has been depreciated using the sum-of-the-years❝-digits method for the first 3 years for financial reporting purposes. In 2015, the company decided to change the method of computing depreciation to the straight-line method for the equipment, but no change was made in the estimated service life or salvage value. It was also decided to change the total estimated service life of the building from 30 years to 40 years, with no change in the estimated salvage value.

Answer:

1. Debit : Equipment Depreciation : $102000

Credit : Equipment Accumulated Depreciation : $102000

2. Debit : Building Depreciation account : $16857

Credit : Building Accumulated Depreciation : $16857

Explanation:

A change in accounting estimate occurs when there is new information that surfaces, affecting the initial situation. It can affect the carrying amount of an asset or liability as well as alter the accounting for existing and future assets or liabilities.

1. The equipment has a cost of $525000 and its depreciation was changed to using the straight line method after 3 years of use. Straight- line depreciation per year:

(Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of useful years.

The cost of asset and the number of useful years left would have to be found since the machine already depreciated using the sum-of-years-digits.

Number of useful years left : 5 - 3 = 2

Accumulated depreciation is required to find what the asset costs at the beginning of 2015.

Depreciation using sum-of-years-digits:

Sum-of-years-digits is an accelerated form of depreciation based on the assumption that an asset’s productivity reduces with time.

(Cost - Salvage value) x (remaining useful life of asset / sum of years digits)

Sum-of-years-digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

Depreciation for 2012 :

($525000 - $15000) / (5/15) = $170000

Depreciation for 2013 :

($525000 - $15000) / (4/15) = $136000

Depreciation for 2014 :

($525000 - $15000) / (3/15) = $102000

Total depreciation: $102000 + $136000 + $170000 = $408000

Cost of asset at Jan 2015 = $525000 - $408000 = $117000

Thus, depreciation expense for 2015 = ($117000 - $15000) / 2 = $51000

Debit : Equipment Depreciation : $51000

Credit : Equipment Accumulated Depreciation : $51000

2. The building has a cost of $693000. It is depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation. Hence, the depreciation expense is the same annually throughout the life of the asset.

Annual depreciation = (Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of useful years

Useful number of years was initially 30 years, later in 2015, it was changed to 40 years.

In order to find the depreciation for 2015, we need to find the cost of asset at the beginning of 2015 and the estimated useful life years left.

Estimated useful life years left : 40 - 3 = 37 years

Cost of asset :

To find this, we require the accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation for one year:

(693000 - 0) / 30 = $23100

$23100 x 3 = $69300 for 3 years

Cost of asset at the beginning of 2015 :

693000 - $69300 = $623700

This would mean that the depreciation expense for 2015 is:

($623700) / 37 = $16857

Debit : Building Depreciation account : $16857

Credit : Building Accumulated Depreciation : $16857

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 was created to protect consumers against false advertising by monopolies.
Igoryamba

The statement "The Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 was created to protect consumers against false advertising by monopolies." is false.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act placed the obligation of responsibility for a company's financial reporting squarely on the shoulders of its top executives in order to safeguard investors from corporate accounting fraud.

It required chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief financial officers (CFOs) to personally attest to the correctness of the information in financial reports and to affirm that controls and procedures were in place to evaluate and verify that accuracy.

In reality, CEOs and CFOs had to personally certify that financial reports complied with Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) rules by signing them. Failure to comply with this might result in fines of up to $15 million and 20-year prison terms.

Hence, the given statement is false.
