Dec. 31, 2022:
Debit Depreciation Expense $18,600
Credit Accumulated Depreciation $18,600
To record depreciation expense for the year.
Explanation:
a) Depreciation charge for each of the 3 years, calculated as ($190,000 - $22,000)/10 = $16,800
2019: $16,800
2020: $16,800
2021: $16,800
Accumulated Depreciation to date = $50,400 ($16,800*3)
b) Book Value on January 1, 2022 = $139,600 ($190,000 - $50,400)
c) New Depreciation charge from 2022 = $18,600 ($139,600 - $28,000) /6 years, the remaining useful life based on the revised estimate.
d) There is adjusting journal entry. Â Depreciation is an estimate based on judgement and past events. Â Judgement can change to address current events. Â So, there is no need adjusting the entries for the previous three years.
