Additional information is as follows:

At the beginning of 2018, Mon Inc. purchased equipment for $66,000 (residual value of $8,000) that has a useful life of 5 years.

The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2018 & 2019, but failed to deduct the residual value in calculating the depreciable amount.

Pukht Inc. decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2018 income by $32,100 and decrease 2019 income by $22,700 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2020.
