    Adjusting Entry for Depreciation?
    I have an unadjusted trial balance as of Dec. 31, 2010 showing Accumulated Depreciation as a credit balance = $6,375
    The accumulated depreciation is for Furniture and Equipment = $85,000

    The adjusting entry note given is: The cost of the furniture and equipment are being amortized in equal amounts over a 10-year period. Assume no residual value at the end of useful life.

    Therefore, over 10 years, depreciation = $8,500/ year

    I now am preparing an Adjusted Trial Balance as of Dec. 31, 2010 and am having trouble deciphering this question.

    I originally:
    -CR Accumulated Depreciation $8,500
    -DR Depreciation Expense $8,500

    The only thing frustrating me was the original balance of 6,375 on the unadjusted trial balance. Is this supposed to be incorporated?
