Bailand Company purchased a building for $210,000 that had an estimated residual value of $10,000 and an estimated service life of 10 years. Bailand purchased the building 4 years ago and has used straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the fifth year (before it records depreciation expense for the year), the following independent situations occur:
1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years).
2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.
3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense.
Required:
For each of the independent situations, prepare all the hournal entries relating to the building for the fifth year. Ignore income taxes.

1. Journal entry would be as follows:

Date                                                          Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$15,000  

                     Accumulated depreciation Account  $15,000

2. Journal entry would be as follows:

Date                                                        Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$34,285.71  

                     Accumulated depreciation Account  $34,285.71

3. Journal entry would be as follows:

                                                                     Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$20,000  

                        Accumulated depreciation Account  $20,000

Yr5 EndAccumulated depreciation Dr.  $4,000  

                                        Retained earnings    $4,000

Explanation:

1. According to the given data we would have to make the following calculations to prepare the journal entries relating to Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years)

Cost of building $210,000    

Less: Salvage  $10,000    

Depreciable cost$200,000    

Divide: Life f building 10    

Annual depreciation $ 20.000    

Depreciation for 4 yrs$80,000    

Remaining Book value at end of 4yrs$130,000    

Less: Salvage$10,000    

Remaining depreciable cost$120,000    

Divide: Life of building8    

Annual depreciation(revised) $15,000

Therefore, journal entry would be as follows:

Date                                                          Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$15,000  

                     Accumulated depreciation Account  $15,000

2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.

Therefore, Remaining Book value at end of 4yrs $130,000    

Less: Salvage  $10,000    

Depreciable cost$120,000    

Sum of years digit for remaining 6yrs21    

(6+5+4+3+2+1)    

Depreciation of 5th year $34,285.71    

(120000/21*6)

Therefore, journal entry would be as follows:

Date                                                        Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$34,285.71  

                     Accumulated depreciation Account  $34,285.71

3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense

Therefore,  Depreciation to be charged for 4 yrs under SLM$80,000  

                     Depreciation which hass been charged  $84,000  

(210000/10*4)      

Depreciation overcharged$4,000  

Annual depreciation under SLM for 5th year $20,000

Therefore, journal entry would be as follows:

                                                                     Debit $Credit $

Yr5 EndDepreciation expense Account Dr.$20,000  

                        Accumulated depreciation Account  $20,000

Yr5 EndAccumulated depreciation Dr.  $4,000  

                                        Retained earnings    $4,000

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
