would have been taken in the current and future periods are spread out over the
new remaining life, resulting in lower depreciation charges in Panel A, and
higher income in Panel B, each year. 2 If the expected life decreases, a symmetric
treatment would increase depreciation charges over the entire shorter remaining
life. In practice, however, the accountant records an asset impairment (Panel A),
which results in (often sharply) reduced current income, but no effect on future
income in Panel B.
