On January 1, 2006, Powell Company purchased a building and machinery that have the following useful lives, salvage value, and costs.

Building, 25-year estimated useful life, $4,000,000 cost, $400,000 salvage value

Machinery, 10-year estimated useful life, $500,000 cost, no salvage value

The building has been depreciated under the straight-line method through 2010. In 2011, the company decided to switch to the double-declining balance method of depreciation for the building. Powell also decided to change the total useful life of the machinery to 8 years, with a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of that time. The machinery is depreciated using the straight-line method.

Instructions:
