- 2. After using an expected useful life of seven years and no salvage value to depreciate its office equipment over the preceding three years, the company decided early this year that the equipment will last only two more years.
- 3. Upon reviewing customer contracts, the company realizes it mistakenly reported $150,000 in revenue instead of the actual amount earned of $15,000. This mistake occurred two years ago and had a material effect on financial statements.
