Answer:
$224.000
Explanation:
Solving for The charge on Accumulated Depreciation.....
Accumulated depreciation on 31.12.2020 = $360,000
Book value on 31.12.2020 = Cost - accumulated depreciation = $1,480,000 - $360,000 = $1,120,000
Remaining useful life on 31.12.2020 after change in estimate = 5 years
As per GAAP, change in estimate is accounted for prospectively therefore remaining book value of $1,120,000 will be depreciated over remaining life of 5 years
Depreciation for 2021 = $1,120,000 / 5 = $224,000
$224.000 is therefore the Depreciation for 2021.
