1. Tahesas 11 Hospital purchased a special X-ray machine for its operating room. The
machine, which cost Birr 311, 560, was expected to last ten years, with an estimated
residual value of Birr 31, 560. After two years of operation (and depreciation charges using
the straight line rate), it became evident that the X-ray machine would last a total of only
six years. The estimated residual value, however, would remain the same. Given this
information, determine:
(a) the depreciation expense of the first and the second years.
(b) The new depreciation charge (expense) for the third year on the basis of the
revised estimated useful life.
