On January 1, 2021, Oriole decides that the business will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. What is the revised depreciation expense for 2021?

Answer 1

the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation is shown below:

Annual Depreciation is

= $458,400 ÷ 3 years

= $152,800

Now the book value would be

= $458,400 - $152,800

= $305,600

Now the revised depreciation is

= $305,600 ÷ 5 years

= $61,120

Hence, the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120
