    The answer is given below

    Explanation:

    Depreciable cost at 31 December 2021 (2,848,000-2,004,000)

    Depreciable Cost $844,000

    Less: Residual value ($232,000)

    Written down value as at January 1,2021 612,000

    Depreciation per year as per straight line method (612,000/3) $204,000

    Depreciation expense Dr.$204,000

    Accumulated Depreciation Cr.$204,000

    The change in depreciation method is change in estimate which is always accounted for prospectively. Therefore the written down value as at January 2021 will be depreciation over remaining useful life of the asset which is 3 years
