To recognize one month of depreciation, you would make the following journal entry: Debit Depreciation Expense (for the amount of depreciation) and credit Accumulated Depreciation (for the same amount). This entry reflects the expense incurred for using the asset during that month, reducing net income, while also increasing the accumulated depreciation on the balance sheet, which reduces the asset's book value.
Debit is to depreciation expense.
