    This is exctly the same type of problem you posted before and I already told you how to solve it, except in this situation you have to use the Straight line depreciation method which is rather simple. You just take the cost of the asset minus the salvage value of the asset then divide that amount with the useful life of the asset to get your depreciation amount per year. Then just plug in your amounts to the journal entry that I previously gave you in your other post.
