Switches to the sum-of-the-years-digits method

Reference no: EM13137657

Green Co. constructed a machine at a total cost of $70 million. Construction was completed at the end of 2007 and the machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2008. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. The residual value will not change from the original $4 million. At the beginning of 2011, Green decided to change to the straight-line method.

Required:

1. Ignoring income taxes, what journal entry(s) should Green record relating to the machine for 2011?

2. Suppose Green has been using the straight-line method and switches to the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. Ignoring income taxes, what journal entry(s) should Green record relating to the machine for 2011?
