Accounting

Bridgeport Cole Inc. acquired the following assets in January of 2023.
Equipment, estimated useful life, 5 years; salvage value, $14,500,$517,000
Building, estimated useful life, 30 years; no salvage value $624,000
The equipment has been depreciated using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method for the first 3 years for financial reporting purposes. In 2026, the company decided to change the method of computing depreciation to the straight-line method for the equipment, but no change was made in the estimated useful life or salvage value. It was also decided to chang the total estimated useful life of the building from 30 years to 40 years, with no change in the estimated salvage value. The building is depreciated on the straight-line method.
(a)
Your answer is partially correct.
Prepare the general journal entry to record depreciation expense for the equipment in 2026.(Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g.125. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. List debit entry before credit entry.)
