    Salt Creek needs to make a journal entry to record full one-year depreciation expenses relating to the mower at 31 Dec 2017 as followed:

    Dr Depreciation expenses - Machinery $1,330

    Cr Accumulated Depreciation - Machinery $1,330

    Explanation:

    The depreciation annual depreciation expenses relating to the Mower, in case it is determined by straight-line method, will be calculated as followed:

    Annual depreciation expenses = (Initial cost of Mower - Estimated Salvage value) / Expected useful life = (15,700 - 2,400) / 10 = $1,330

    Since the Mower is purchase at 1 Jan 2017, in 31 Dec 2017, Salt Creek should make a journal entry to record full-year depreciation expense.
