The company uses straight line depreciation method to calculate its depreciation.

Based on the depreciation of the equipment, the current balance would equal $0 and but it should equal $5,600.

The adjusting entry would be:
Date                        Account title                                     Debit          Credit

December 31          Depreciation expense                   $5,600

                                Accumulated depreciation                             $5,600

How is depreciation recorded?

The current account balance would be $0 because depreciation has not yet been adjusted for.

The depreciation amount would be:

= (48,000 - 8,800) / 7

= $5,600

This amount should be credited to the Accumulated depreciation account, but debited to the Depreciation expense account as expenses usually are.
