Dr Cr

Depreciation expenses $2,375

Accumulated Depreciation $2,375

Explanation:

annual depreciation on straight line = Cost - slavage value

life span

= ($48,000 - $10,000) / 8

= $38,000/8 = $4,750

but the company purchase the asset on July 1, therefore half year depreciation will be charged = (6 * $4,750) / 12 = $2,375
