(Error and Change in Estimate—Depreciation) Joy Cunningham Co. purchased a machine on January 1, 2015, for $550,000. At that time, it was estimated that the machine would have a 10-year life and no salvage value. On December 31, 2018, the firm’s accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense had been omitted in 2016. In addition, management has informed the accountant that the company plans to switch to straight-line depreciation, starting with the year 2018. At present, the company uses the sum-of-the-years’-digits method for depreciating equipment.InstructionsPrepare the general journal entries that should be made at December 31, 2018, to record these events. (Ignore tax effects.)
In 2018, internal auditors discovered that PKE Displays, Inc., had debited an expense account for the $350,000 cost of a machine

In January 2019, repair costs of 9,000 were debited to the Machinery account. At the beginning of 2019, the book value of the machinery was 100,000. No residual value is expected, the remaining estimated life is 10 years, and straight-line depreciation is used. b.

It is discovered that the use of these materials was 10,000 during 2018 and 12,000 during 2019. c.
