Equipment:

Dr. Cr.

Depreciation Expense $5,520

Accumulated Depreciation $5,520

Land:

Land never depreciates, so there is no adjusting entry for the Land purchased on year end.

Explanation:

Year end is not given in the data so, it is assumed the December 31 is the end of the year

Equipment

Depreciation for the year = (Purchase price - Residual value) / useful life

Depreciation for the year = ($32,000 - $4,400) / 5 years

Depreciation for the year = $5,520
