Change in Accounting Estimate, Financial Effect In order to align the scrap rate estimates with the current historical average scrap rate, effective from January 1, 2015, the Company adjusted the estimated scrap rate used to calculate the vessels' salvage value from $0.250 to $0.300 per lightweight ton. The impact of the increase in the estimated scrap rate is a decrease in depreciation expense prospectively. The effect of this change in accounting estimate, which did not require retrospective adoption as per ASC 250 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections", was to decrease depreciation expense by $5,388 and increase net income by $5,388 or $0.07 per common share, basic and diluted , for the year ended December 31, 2015 -
