The answer depends on the Depreciation method used, estimated useful life of the asset, and the salvage value.

If this for homework, your problem will give you the inffomation that is needed to compute the Depreciation Expense.

The journal entry to record Depreciation Expense will be:
Debit Depreciation Expense for the Amount (Expense Account)
Credit Accumulated Depreciation - PP&E for the amount (Contra Asset Account)
