    Adjusting entry for depreciation
    The equipment was purchased in 2009 and is being depreciated using the straight - line method over an eight-year useful life with no salvage value.

    Equipment accumulated Depreciation-equip
    Debit credit
    75,000

    Debit Credit
    10,000

    I am not sure if I am doing the calculation correctly. 75000/96 or 10000/96

    How can I calculate without purchase price or salvage value?

    You will take your cost of equipment, which is $75,000 minus the salvage value, which is zero and divide that by 96 to get the monthly rate of depreciation times the number of months you are calculating the depreciation for.
