Check my work Problem 9.2A Comparison of Straight-Line and Accelerated Methods (LO9-3, LO9-5) Swanson & Hiller, Inc., purchased a new machine on September 1 of the current year at a cost of $170,000. The machine\'s estimated useful life at the time of the purchase was five years, and its residual value was $10,000. The company reports on a calendar year basis Required a-1. Prepare a complete depreciation eBook schedule, beginning with the current year, using the straight-line method. (Assume that the Ask Print References half-year convention is used) complete depreciation schedule, beginning with the current year, using the 200 percent declining-balance method. (Assume that the half-year convention is used) a-3.
