    Transactions for fixed assets, including sale
    The following transactions, adjusting entries and closing entries wre completed by McHenry furniture Co. During a 3 year period. All are related to the use of delivery equipment. The double declining method of depreciation is used.

    1/4) Purchased a used delivery truck for 54,000 paying cash.
    2/24). Paid garage $275 for changing the oil, replacing the oil filter, and tuning the engine on the delivery truck.
    12/31). Recorded depreciation on the truck for the fiscal year. The estimated useful like of the truck is eight years, with a residual value of $12,000 for the truck.
    (I already now how to solve for 2010)

    2011
    1/3). Purchased a new truck for $60000 paying cash.
    3/7). Paid garage $300 to tune the engine and make other minor repairs on the used truck.
