Question

During 2019 and 2020, Faulkner Manufacturing used the sum-of-the-years’-digits (SYD) method of depreciation for its depreciable assets, for both financial reporting and tax purposes. At the beginning of 2021, Faulkner decided to change to the straight-line method for both financial reporting and tax purposes. A tax rate of 25% is in effect for all years.

For an asset that cost $11,200 with an estimated residual value of $1,200 and an estimated useful life of 10 years, the depreciation under different methods is as follows:

Year Straight Line SYD Difference
2019   $ 1,000   $ 1,818     $ 818  
2020     1,000     1,636       636  
    $ 2,000   $ 3,454     $ 1,454  
 


Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry that Faulkner will record in 2021 related to the change.
2. Suppose instead that Faulkner previously used straight-line depreciation and changed to sum-of-the-years’- digits in 2021. Prepare the journal entry that Faulkner will record in 2021 related to the change.
