Exercise 1- On January 1, 2011, Jackson Company purchased a building and equipment that have the following useful lives, salvage values, and costs.

Building, 40-year estimated useful life, $44,448 salvage value, $1,190,000 cost

Equipment, 12-year estimated useful life, $14,700 salvage value, $143,400 cost

The building has been depreciated under the double-declining-balance method through 2014. In 2015, the company decided to switch to the straight-line method of depreciation. Jackson also decided to change the total useful life of the equipment to 9 years, with a salvage value of $5,300 at the end of that time. The equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method.

(a) Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the depreciation expense on the building in 2015. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

(b) Compute depreciation expense on the equipment for 2015. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
