On 30 June 2023, the end of the current reporting period, Lynch Ltd made a decision, using the information obtained over the past few years, to revise the useful life of a particular item of its buildings acquired ten years earlier for $2 000 000. The useful life was revised from being a total of 25 years to being a total of 15 years. The building was originally depreciated on the straight-line basis over its useful life and it was expected that the asset would have no residual value. No depreciation has been provided in the current period.
