Collins Corporation purchased office equipment at the beginning of 2016 and capitalized a cost of $1,974,000. This cost figure included the following expenditures: Purchase price $ 1,820,000 Freight charges 27,000 Installation charges 17,000 Annual maintenance charge 110,000 Total $ 1,974,000 The company estimated an eight-year useful life for the equipment. No residual value is anticipated. The double-declining-balance method was used to determine depreciation expense for 2016 and 2017. In 2018, after the 2017 financial statements were issued, the company decided to switch to the straight-line depreciation method for this equipment. At that time, the companys controller discovered that the original cost of the equipment incorrectly included one year of annual maintenance charges for the equipment.
