On December 31, 2018, the firms accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense had been omitted in 2016. In addition, management has informed the accountant that the company plans to switch to straight-line depreciation, starting with the year 2018.

(Ignore tax effects.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.
