This would be an easy journal entry:-
Depreciation Account 102,500
Provision for Depreciation of Asset 102,500
Being Depreciation calculation for the first year on the equipment.
Note: - you would need to repeat this entry for the next three years.

in SLM you could calculate depreciation by using this formula:
Dep = (Assets Value - Salvage Value)/life time
Dep = (410000 - 0)/4 = 102500 annually
