Thank you for the videos : If I may argue example 2 accounting estimates isn’t number 1 a change in accounting policy coz if it was an estimate wouldn’t that require new information to come through in order to classify as an estimate?
Depreciation is always an estimate because your useful lives and depreciation %s are just a general judgement (for an expense that is non-cash in nature). The example is simply replacing one estimate for another to reflect that the asset’s functionality and productivity is declining throughout it’s useful life.
