The computer was depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated five-year life with an estimated residual value of $10,000. On January 1, 2021, the estimate of useful life was changed to a total of 10 years, and the estimate of residual value was changed to $1,600. Exercise 11-23 (Algo) Part 2 2. Prepare the year-end journal entry for depreciation in 2021. Assume that the company uses the sum-of-the-years' -digits method instead of the straight-line method.
