On January 1, 2012, Nobel Corporation acquired machinery at a cost of $1,200,000. Nobel adopted the straight-line method of depreciation for this machine and had been recording depreciation over an estimated life of ten years, with no residual value. At the beginning of 2015, a decision was made to change to the double-declining balance method of depreciation for this machine.
The amount that Nobel should record as depreciation expense for 2015 is
$240,000.
$120,000.
None of these are correct.
$168,000.
