Foley adopted the double-declining balance method of depreciation for this machinery and had been recording depreciation over an estimated useful life of ten years, with no residual value. At the beginning of 2008, a decision was made to change to the straight-line method of depreciation for the machinery. The depreciation expense to be recorded for the machinery in 2008 is (round to the nearest dollar)

A.	$25,000.
B.	$25,600.
C.	$18,286.
D.	$22,857.

47) During 2008, a construction company changed from the completed-contract method to the percentage-of-completion method for accounting purposes but NOT for tax purposes. Gross profit figures under both methods for the past three years appear below:

Completed-Contract	Percentage-of-Completion
2006	$ 475,000	$ 800,000
2007	625,000	950,000
2008	700,000	1,050,000
$1,800,000	$2,800,000

Assuming an income tax rate of 40% for all years, the effect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a credit of

A.	$390,000 on the 2008 income statement.
B.	$600,000 on the 2008 income statement.
C.	$390,000 on the 2008 retained earnings statement.
D.	$600,000 on the 2008 retained earnings statement.

48) Accrued salaries payable of $51,000 were NOT recorded at December 31, 2007. Office supplies on hand of $24,000 at December 31, 2008 were erroneously treated as expense instead of supplies inventory. Neither of these errors was discovered nor corrected. The effect of these two errors would cause

A.	2007 net income and December 31, 2007 retained earnings to be understated $51,000 each.
B.	2008 net income to be understated $75,000 and December 31, 2008 retained earnings to be understated $24,000.
C.	2008 net income and December 31, 2008 retained earnings to be understated $24,000 each.
D.	2007 net income to be overstated $27,000 and 2008 net income to be understated $24,000.

49) The estimated life of a building that has been depreciated 30 years of an originally estimated life of 50 years has been revised to a remaining life of 10 years. Based on this information, the accountant should

A.	depreciate the remaining book value over the remaining life of the asset.
B.	continue to depreciate the building over the original 50-year life.
C.	adjust accumulated depreciation to its appropriate balance through retained earnings, based on a 40-year life, and then depreciate the adjusted book value as though the estimated life had always been 40 years.
D.	adjust accumulated depreciation to its appropriate balance, through net income, based on a 40-year life, and then depreciate the adjusted book value as though the estimated life had always been 40 years.

50) Which type of accounting change should always be accounted for in current and future periods?

A.	Change in reporting entity
B.	Change in accounting principle
C.	Correction of an error
D.	Change in accounting estimate

51) When a company decides to switch from the double-declining balance method to the straight-line method, this change should be handled as a

A.	change in accounting estimate.
B.	change in accounting principle.
C.	correction of an error.
D.	prior period adjustment.
