If the cost of the equipment is, for example, $3,600, the annual depreciation would be $1,200, resulting in a monthly depreciation of $100. The journal entry would be: Debit: Depreciation Expense $100 Credit: Accumulated Depreciation - Computer Equipment $100

Journal entry is the basic transaction to record the business transaction and without journal entry no record can be maintained.
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.
