Flounder Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2017. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2017. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you.

1. Flounder purchased equipment on January 2, 2014, for $80,400. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $5,400 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2017, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $3,000 salvage value.
2. During 2017, Flounder changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $320,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $32,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2015 and 2016.
