    Depreciation
    On July 1, 2001, a machine is purchased at a cost of $ 20,000.Before the 2001 books are closed you discover that an error caused by using an in correct residual value resulted in depreciation for the year being $200 too high.To correct this error you will record a second adjusting entry for depreciation that will include

    a. a $200 debit to Depreciation expense
    b. a $200 credit to Asset-Machinery
    c. a $200 debit to Accumulated Depreciation
    d. none of above
