On January 1, 2021, Pocket Woman changed its plant and equipment accounting for depreciation from the double-declining balance method to the straight-line method. Pocket Woman purchased the assets on January 1, 2020 for $600,000; they had no scrap value and useful lives of 10 years. The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at January 1, 2021 amounted to $120,000. Pocket Woman recorded the straight-line depreciation expense in 2021 and included it in the $920,000 reported for selling and administrative expenses. Depreciation expense would have been $96,000 for 2021 if Pocket Woman had still used the double-declining balance method.
