Larry Corp. purchased a capital asset for $184,000 in early 2013. Management estimated that the asset would have a 10-year life with an estimated residual value of $37,000 and would be depreciated on a straight-line basis with a full year’s depreciation in the year of purchase. In 2015, management decides to change the depreciation method to 10% declining balance. This is a change in policy because the change is motivated by a desire to conform to industry practice. The tax rate is 40%.

Required:

1. Calculate depreciation expense for 2013–2015, inclusive, using the old policy and then the new policy.
