Question
Irwin, Inc., constructed a machine at a total cost of $35 million. Construction was completed at the end of 2012 and the machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2013. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method. The residual value is expected to be $2 million. At the beginning of 2016, Irwin decided to change to the straight-line method.
Ignoring income taxes, prepare the journal entry relating to the machine for 2016. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)

Explanation / Answer
Depreciation using sum of digit method
Journal entry for the year 2016
Additional depreciation to be charged in 2016 = (3.3*3)-(0.60+1.20+1.80) i.e 6.30
Depreciation to be charged for the year 2016 = 3.3
Total depreciation to be charged = 6.30+3.30 i.e 990
Depreciation account ..................Dr 9.90
To machinery 990
( Being depreciation normal and additional charged for the yearv 2016)
