The Collins Corporation purchased office equipment at the beginning of $2022$ and capitalized a cost of $$2,000,000.$ This cost included the following expenditures:

Purchase price $ $1,850,000$

Freight charges $30,000$

Installation charges $20,000$

Annual maintenance charge $100,000$

Total $ $2,000,000$

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 $2022$ and $2023.$

In $2024,$ after the $2023$ financial statements were issued, the company decided to switch to the straight$-$line depreciation method for this equipment. At that time, the company$$s controller discovered that the original cost of the equipment incorrectly included one year of annual maintenance charges for the equipment.
