    You will need to compute the depreciation expense for one month.

    (Cost of the Asset - Salvage Value of the Asset) / Useful life = Depreciation Expense each year. To compute one month Depreciation you take the Depreciation Expense per year / 12 = 1 month of Depreciation Expense.

    The journal entry to record this is:
    Debit Depreciation Expense for the amount of 1 month Depreciation
    Credit Accumulated Depreciation for the amount
