On January 1, 2012, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $600,000. The machine has a five-year life, and no salvage value. Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation has been used for financial statement reporting and the elective straight-line method for income tax reporting.
