    Straight Line Depreciation Expense $ 11,480

    Explanation:

    Given

    Cost = $ 63,000

    Salvage Value = $ 5,600

    Life in years = 6

    Calculations

    Straight Line Depreciation Expense = Cost - Salvage Value / Useful life in years

    Straight Line Depreciation Expense = $ 63,000 - 5,600/5

    = $ 57,400/5 = $ 11,480

    Depreciation Expense for 1 month = $ 11480/12 = $ 956.67

    Adjustment at the end of the 1st month

    Depreciation Expense $ 956.67 Dr

    Accumulated Depreciation $ 956.67 Cr.
