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 2022 and 2023.

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.
