This is the first three transactions that I have done... could you please check to see if I done it correct.. thanks

I agree with the first two although my calculation of the depreciation is marginally different at $1543 you haven't shown the debits and credits so I'll assume you got those right

I don't know why you want to reverse the accumulated depreciation for year 1 when additions were made more than a year later, this doesn't affect depreciation in that year, that just sets up new criteria for the calculation of Depreciation at 30 June 2014

I have no idea what that last entry in your post relates to, certainly not the depreciation for the year 2014
Here is a clue examine carefully the dates and the financial years they relate to
Record each transaction separately

Does anyone know how to record the transaction 5, 6,7, and 8??

Here is a table showing the various calculations
Calc actual accum
year depn depn depn capital net
2012 1542.75 1543 30700 18700
2013 4675 4675 6218 30700 18700
2014 4725 4725 10943 31900 18900
2015 4725 4725 15668 31900 18900
2016 2562.5 2563 18231 31900 18900 NB; half year
2016 2050 2050 20281 34500 20500 NB; half year
2017 4100 219 20500

From this you can construct your journal entries
Note this approach to depreciation is irrational
to spend 2600 to extend the life of a vehicle for one year and increase the realisable value by 1000 is an unethical decision because the expenses are understated. The major repair should have been expensed, had this approach been taken depreciation would have reached residual value in 2016
