Building: estimated useful life, 30 years; no residual value
$720,000
The equipment was depreciated using the double-declining-balance method for the first three years for financial reporting purposes. In 2020, the company decided to change the method of calculating depreciation for the equipment to the straight-line method, because of a change in the pattern of benefits received (but no change was made in the estimated useful life or residual value).

The building is depreciated using the straight-line method.
