The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation, and records ½ year depreciation in the years of acquisition and disposal. On January 1, 2018, machine 1 was sold for $500. On the same day, management re-evaluated the estimated useful lives and the residual values of the remaining machines. They came to the conclusion that machine 2 had a remaining useful life of two years (that is, to December 31, 2019), while residual value remained unchanged. Machine 3 had a remaining useful life of five years (that is, to December 31, 2022) but now no residual value.
