Buildings 120,000 Equipment 16,000

Explanation:

First, calcualte the depreciable amount:

cost less salvage value:

120,000 - 10% = 120,000 * (1 - 0.1) = 108,000

Now we multiply this by the depreciation rate which represent 1/useful life

108,000 x 4% = 108,000 x 0.04 = 4,320

We do the same with the equipment

16,000* (1 - 0.1) = 14,800 amount subject to depreciation

14,800 * 10% = 14,800 x 0.1 = 1,480

he adjusting entry will debit the depreciation expense and increase the accumulated depreciation of eahc asset
