    Your journal entry will be an adjusting entry for depreciation.

    You have to calculate 4 months of depreciation: Cost - Salvage value * number of months/12 months (if you are using Straight Line Method of Depreciation).

    The entry will be:
    Debit Depreciation Expnese for the amount calculated above
    Credit Accumulated Depreciation for the amount calculated above.
