Answer:
The equipment originally cost 40,000 and has a salvage value of 8,000, which means that the amount that can be depreciated is 32,000. It has a life of 8 years and follows a straight line method so the yearly depreciation would be 32,000/8= 4,000.
The depreciation for the first 2 years is 4000*2= 8,000
So the book value of the asset is 40,000-8000= 32,000
Since according to the new estimate the total life is 5 years, and 2 years have already passed the remaining life of the asset is 3 years. Also since there is no change in salvage value the amount that can be depreciated is 32,000-8,000= 24,000
To find out the deprecation in year 3 we will divide 24,000 by the reaming life which is 3.
24,000/3= 8,000
The depreciation expense in year 3 would have been $8,000

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).
This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.
