and depreciated it on astraight-line basis over a

40-year

period. The estimated residual value is

began depreciating the building over a revised total life of

35

years using the new residual value. Journalize depreciation expense on the building for years 15 and 16. (Record debitsfirst, then credits. Select the explanation on the last line of the journal entrytable.)
