    E) $1,500 debit to Depreciation Expense and a $1,500 credit to Accumulated Depreciation.

    Explanation:

    Depreciation for one year = (Cost of Equipment - Estimated Salvage value) / Useful life

    Depreciation for one year = ($25,000 - $2,500) / 5

    Depreciation for one year = $4,500 per year

    Depreciation charge for the year on December 31 = $4,500 x (4 / 12) = $1,500

    $1,500 will be charged as expense and it will also be credited to the accumulated depreciation account.
