Trainor Corporation purchased equipment on January 1, 2020, at a cost of $500,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $50,000 and an estimated life of 5 years.

Management extended the total useful life an additional 5 years but estimated that the equipment would have no residual value at the end of this time.
