Answer:
The journals entry to record depreciation on the equipment for 2016 will be:
Debit Depreciation expense $14,000
Credit Accumulated depreciation $14,000
(To record depreciation expense for Year 2016)
Step-by-step explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($150,000 - $10,000) / 10 years = $14,000 yearly depreciation expense. This applies to Years 2015 and 2016.
The change in the estimate in Year 2017 will not affect the depreciation expense for 2016 based on the previous parameters,
