(2) Mason Company has a machine that cost $71,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of five (5) years, no residual value, and was purchased on January 1, 2009. Mason uses the straight line method of depreciation. Provide the journal entry to record the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008. What is the annual depreciation expense if the machine residual value is $6,000?

1. the journal entry is: Debit supplies for the amount purchased

Debit supplies expense for the amount of supplies used. This is cmputed as: onhand amount + purchases - ending inventory
Credit Supplies for the amount used.

2. the entry is: Debit Depreciation Expense for the amount of depreciation
Credit Accumulated Depreciation for the amount of depreciaiton
