The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you. 1. 2. 3. Waterway purchased equipment on January 2, 2022, for $79,400. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $5,400 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2025, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $2,900 salvage value. During 2025, Waterway changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $300,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $30,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2023 and 2024.
