Building, 25-year estimated useful life, $6,000,000 cost, $600,000 salvage value.

Machinery, 10-year estimated useful life, $800,000 cost, no salvage value.

The building has been depreciated under the straight-line method through the end of 2019. At the beginning of 2020, the company decided to switch to the double-declining balance method of depreciation for the building. The total estimated life and the salvage value did not change.
