    The question is,

    A machine was purchased on 1 April 2007 for $120,000. It was
    estimated that the asset had a residual value of $20,000 and
    a useful economic life of 10 years at this date. On 1 April 2009
    (two years later) the residual value was reassessed as being only
    $15,000 and the useful economic life remaining was considered to
    be only five years.
    How should the asset be accounted for in the years ending
    31 March 2008/2009/2010?

    and the answer for 31st March 2010 is,

    31 March 2010
    As the residual value and useful economic life estimates have
    changed during the year ended 2010, the depreciation charge will
    need to be recalculated. The carrying value will now be spread
    according to the revised estimates.
    Depreciation charge:
    100,000 – 15,000 = $17,000 per annum
    5 years
    Income statement extract 2010 Depreciation $17,000
    Statement of financial position extract 2010
    Machine (100,000 – 17,000) $83,000

    Why not deducting 15000 (residual value) from the carrying amount?

    Because, at the end of useful life in 5 years’ time, we shall have written off 5 x 17,000 = 85,000 and the asset will then be shown as being carried at 15,000 ……. the very figure that we estimate we shall be able to sell it for

    Ok?
