Moreau Lock & Key Ltd. has a hefty investment in security equipment, as reported in the company's balance sheet at December 31, 2016:

Property, plant, and equipment, at cost:

In early October 2017, Moreau Lock & Key purchased additional security equipment at a cost of $80,000. The company depreciates buildings by the straight-line method over

20 years with a residual value of $70,000. Due to obsolescence, security equipment has a useful life of only eight years and is being depreciated by the double-diminishing-balance method with zero residual value.
