85. A firm purchased an office machine for $18,400, estimated that it will use the machine for 15 years, and estimated a salvage value of $400. On December 31 of the sixth year, before closing the books for the year, the firm analyzed its estimates of useful life and salvage value. In light of new information, the firm estimated that the machine will have a total useful life of only 10 years, and the salvage estimate of $400 remains reasonable.
