d. CREDIT to Accumulated Depreciation for $12,750
e. CREDIT to Accumulated Depreciation for $9,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Option E. CREDIT to Accumulated Depreciation for $9,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute depreciation expense is given as under:

Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Scrap Value) / Useful Life

By putting values we have:

Depreciation Expense = (100,000 - 10,000) / 10 Years = 9,000 per year

The double entry for the year 2 would be:

Dr Depreciation Expence 9,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation 9,000
