Change in Accounting Estimates
How we can change the accounting estimates?
Unlike accounting for change in accounting policy, we need to change our
accounting estimates Prospectively, either:
14. On January 1, 20X1, Robust Inc. purchased heavy-duty equipment for $400,000. On the date of
installation, it was estimated that the machine has a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of
$40,000.
Accordingly the annual depreciation worked out to $36,000 = [($400,000 – $40,000) / 10].
On January 1, 20X5, after four years of using the equipment, the company decided to review the useful
life of the equipment and its residual value. Technical experts were consulted. According to them, the
remaining useful life of the equipment at January 1, 20X5, was seven years and its residual value was
$46,000.
Required
Compute the revised annual depreciation for the year 20X5 and future years.
Facts:
15. The revised annual depreciation based on the remaining useful life and revised residual value will be
Computed based on this formula:
Revised annual depreciation = (Net book value at January 1, 20X5 – revised residual value) / remaining
useful life
Solutions:
Net book value at January 1, 20X5:
= $400,000 – ($36,000 × 4 years)
= $256,000
Revised annual depreciation for 20X5 and
future years:
= ($256,000 – $46,000) / 7 = $30,000
16. The nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that has an effect
in the current period or is expected to have an effect in future periods
If the amount of the effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating
it is impracticable, an entity shall disclose that fact.
