Answer:

Part 1

Revised depreciation expense =  $32,000

Part 2

The entry to record depreciation expense :

Debit : Depreciation Expense $32,000

Credit : Accumulated Depreciation $32,000

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge over the year of use of an asset.

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life

2021

Depreciation expense = $80,000

2022

Old Depreciation expense = $80,000

New Depreciation expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining Useful Life

                                              = ($240,000 - $80,000) ÷ 5

                                              = $32,000
