[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Wardell Company purchased a mini computer on January 1, 2019, at a cost of $47,650. The computer has been depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated five-year useful life with an estimated residual value of $4,900. On January 1, 2021, the estimate of useful life was changed to a total of 10 years, and the estimate of residual value was changed to $870.

2. Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for depreciation in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate, assuming that the company uses the sum-of-the-years'-digits method instead of the straight-line method. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.
