The sayers company purchased a building for $250,000 on January 2, 2010. The building has an expected residual value of $20,000 at the end of its expected life 20 years. Required Prepare a schedule showing the depreciation for 2010 and 2011 and the book value on December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 for each of the following methods: 1. Straight-line 2.
