- Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account, and it decreases the asset value by $6,400. So credit accumulated depreciation by $6,400.
The adjusting entry for recording depreciation for equipment is as follows:
Date | Account Titles and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
July 31 | Depreciation expense | 2,800 | |
