- Gwynedd Industries uses straight-line depreciation on all of its depreciable assets. The company records annual depreciation expense at the end of each calendar year. On January 1, 2020, the company purchased a machine costing $170,000, and it has an estimated useful life of 15 years and an estimated residual value of $26,000. Depreciation for partial years is rounded to the nearest full month. In 2024, management decided to revise its estimated life from 18 years to 25 years. No change was made in the estimated residual value. The revised estimate of the useful life was decided prior to recording annual depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.
