    To Accumulated depreciation $7,000

    (Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below;

    On December 31,2019

    Depreciation expense Dr $7,000

    To Accumulated depreciation $7,000

    (Being the depreciation expense is recorded)

    The computation is shown below:

    = ($80,000 - $10,000) : 5 years * 6 months : 12 months

    = $7,000

    For recording this we debited the depreciation expense as it increased the expenses and decreased the assets so the accumulated depreciation is credited

    And, the six months is taken from July 1 to December 31
